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

objectivesTo assess and measure occurrence of sleep disorders in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis (Ps). MATERIAL AND

methodsThe study included 62 patients with psoriatic arthritis and 52 patients with psoriasis. The measurement of sleep quality was conducted using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the evaluation of fatigue by the fatigue subscale of the FACIT-F questionnaire and the patient's quality of life by the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). The psoriasis severity was determined using the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) and the activity of arthritis by the disease activity score of 28 joints (DAS 28). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess the severity of pain.

resultsPoor sleep quality was found in 67.7% of PsA patients, 57.7% in Ps patients and 14.6% within the control group. Sleeping disorders in patients with PsA and Ps were related to worse quality of life and intense fatigue. Methotrexate treatment was not related to sleeping disorders, but an improvement in sleep quality was observed in both PsA and Ps patients who were treated with anti TNF-α antibodies (

conclusionsPoor sleep quality in patients with PsA or Ps is a common symptom. Sleep disorders are more frequent in patients with PsA than in those with psoriasis.
