[Insufficient tetanus vaccination protection in psoriasis and systemic immunosuppression : Results of a retrospective investigation of 101 patients].
Article in Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundWith a prevalence of approximately 3 % worldwide, psoriasis is one of the most frequent chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Patients with moderate to severe psoriasis are treated guideline-conform with immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive agents. According to current guidelines physicians should be vigilant about the vaccination status of immunosuppressed patients.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to serologically objectify the tetanus vaccination status in systemically treated patients with moderate to severe psoriasis in Germany. MATERIAL AND
methodsWithin the context of this retrospective study the concentration of immunoglobulin G antibodies against Clostridium tetani was determined in 101 patients with systemic immunosuppression suffering from psoriasis.
resultsIn a total of 27.7% (n = 28; 11 male, 17 female) of the patients, insufficient immunoglobulin G antibody concentrations were detected, corresponding to a higher risk of an infection with C. tetani. Group subanalyses indicated an insufficient tetanus protection especially in patients ≥65 years old (50%).
conclusionThe tetanus immune status of psoriasis patients was shown to be comparable with the general population. The results of our investigation underline that people suffering from psoriasis have to be tested for tetanus protection and if necessary, vaccinations have to be renewed.
