1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The presence and localization of immuno-analogues of human erythrocyte protein 4.1 and spectrin were examined in the epidermis of psoriasis vulgaris. Immunoblot analysis with antibodies against human erythrocyte protein 4.1 revealed that psoriatic epidermis contains a 4.1-like protein of 80 kDa, and also minor immunoreactive polypeptides, including a 45-kDa polypeptide. The 45-kDa band was not detected in non-lesional epidermis. Lesional epidermis of psoriasis contains spectrin-like proteins of 240 kDa. Analysis with immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that 4.1-like proteins were detected mainly in the cytoplasm of the suprabasal cells in lesional epidermis and in the peripheral cytoplasm of the basal cells in non-lesional epidermis. On the other hand, spectrin-like proteins were localized to the peripheral cytoplasm of basal keratinocytes in both lesional and non-lesional psoriatic epidermis. The present results indicate that proteins related to protein 4.1 and spectrin are consistently detected within epidermal cells of psoriasis, a chronic skin disease characterized by epidermal hyperplasia; the expression and distribution of protein 4.1 in lesional epidermis of psoriasis differs from that in non-lesional epidermis. These membrane skeletal proteins may be of significance in the hyperproliferative epidermis of psoriasis.
