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

There is epidemiological evidence that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations, or HDL "levels," exert protection from atherosclerosis, suggesting that HDL plays a role in vascular diseases. More accurate measures of HDL "function" are emerging, such as HDL efflux assays, which measure removal of cholesterol from peripheral tissues. Using this assay, we have demonstrated that psoriasis is associated with decreased HDL "levels" and HDL "function." The study by Holzer et al. in this issue demonstrates in an open-label, uncontrolled study that HDL function is impaired in psoriasis and improves after successful treatment of psoriasis. These findings underscore the notion that treatment of psoriasis likely extends beyond the skin and that a randomized controlled clinical trial is needed to confirm these findings.
