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

Infections with Streptococcus pyogenes are highly relevant among the environmental factors that contribute to first onset or relapses of psoriasis in predisposed individuals. Streptococcal angina or pharyngitis, but also perianal streptococcal dermatitis, vulvovaginitis or balanoposthitis are potential causes. Several mechanisms such as molecular mimicry or superantigens may be involved. Many patients develop a chronic streptococcal infection or colonization that may result from the ability of streptococci for intracellular uptake and persistence in epithelial cells. Whether and under what conditions a curative treatment of streptococcal infection by tonsillectomy or antibiotic treatment may affect the course of psoriasis, as proposed by several observations, needs to be determined in more detail by clinical trials.
