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

objectivesRestless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disease with a chronic course that is characterised by sleep disorders and sensorimotor impairment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and severity of RLS in psoriatic arthritis (PSA) patients and those with psoriasis (P). PATIENTS AND

methodsThe study included 50 patients with psoriasis (28 females, 22 males), 50 PSA patients (33 females, 17 males) and 50 healthy control subjects (34 females, 16 males), and all 3 groups were matched with respect to age, gender and body mass index (BMI). Evaluations were made using the International RLS Rating Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Insomnia Severity Index, Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Beck Depression Index (BDI) and the SF-36 quality of life scores.

resultsRLS was determined at a higher rate in the PSA patients (64.0%), compared to the P group (20.0%, p < 0.001) and the control group (14.0%, p < 0.001). The number of moderate and severe RLS cases was significantly higher in the PSA group (68.7%) compared to the P group (30%, p < 0.001) and the control group (0%, p < 0.001). In regression analysis, an independent correlation was found between the RLS score and PSQI (beta [β] = 0.269, p = 0.002), FSS (β = 0.243, p = 0.003), SF-36 physical score (β = 0.242, p = 0.004) and BDI (β = 0.177, p = 0.036).

conclusionRLS was determined in PSA patients at a higher rate than in psoriasis patients. The presence of RLS in PSA and psoriasis patients is related to impairments in sleep and quality of life, fatigue and depression.
