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 clinical picture of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is heterogeneous, potentially involving numerous organs and tissues, such as skin and joint. From a clinical point of view, discrete tissue PsA features develop and respond to treatments apparently independently. The pathogenic events occurring in the various tissues are only partially understood. Although the vast majority of known genetic predisposing factors are shared between patients with skin psoriasis (PSO) and those affected by PsA, some tissue-specific variants have been identified. Furthermore, current data suggest that the TNF pathway and IL-23/Th17 pathways may be differentially activated in distinct tissue sites. In this review, we briefly describe current knowledge on the pathogenesis of PsA in terms of genetic predisposition, environmental factors and immunology, advancing our hypothesis to explain why a common immunologic process can express itself with significant differences in various tissues.
