Psychological Distress, Alexithymia and Alcohol Misuse in Patients with Psoriasis: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study investigates (a) the prevalence of psychological distress, alexithymia and alcohol misuse in psoriasis patients; and (b) the relationship between psoriasis severity, alexithymia, alcohol and psychological distress in patients with psoriasis. A cross-sectional study was conducted. Outpatients (n = 184) with moderate to severe psoriasis completed a psychological screening battery. Measures included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Penn State Worry Questionnaire, the twenty-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale, the Dermatology Life Quality Index, the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, the Self-Administered Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Demographic, clinical details and information on knowledge of psychosocial issues, alcohol and confidence on coping with distress and talking to others about psoriasis was also gathered. Alexithymia was associated with anxiety, depression and worry; subjective psoriasis severity was associated with worry. Alcohol misuse was related to anxiety and worry, but not to depression. Appropriate identification and treatment of alcohol difficulties and psychological distress of patients with psoriasis is needed.
