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

backgroundCorrelation between severity of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is inconsistent. Also, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Cw6 was found to be underrepresented in severe psoriasis who failed conventional systemic therapies, but the effect of HLA polymorphism on PsA severity needs to be confirmed.

objectivesTo describe the severity of psoriasis, demographic features and HLA polymorphism among Chinese patients with active peripheral type PsA who had inadequate response to conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.

methodsWe included all patients with PsA who had at least 3 tender and swollen peripheral joints despite at least two conventional non-biologic treatments in our clinic. Demographic results were compared with global pivotal studies of biologics for PsA. HLA-Cw and HLA-DRB1 genotyping was also analyzed.

resultsWe identified 60 patients who met our inclusion criteria. The male to female ratio was 1.31:1. The majority of patients presented with psoriasis first (81.7%). The mean interval between psoriasis and PsA was 7.2 ± 8.1 years (mean ± SD). The baseline number of tender and swollen joints was 14.9 ± 10.7 and 11.3 ±10.2, respectively. In total, 41.7% subjects had more than 3% body surface area involvement of psoriasis. Genotyping of HLA-Cw and HLA-DRB1 was performed in 47 subjects. HLA-Cw*0702 was the most frequent allele (29.8%), followed by HLA-Cw*01 (26.6%). The frequency of HLA-Cw*0602 allele was similar to normal population. The most frequent HLA-DRB1 allele was HLA-DRB1*04 (20.2%), followed by HLA-DRB1*08 (16.0%). No cases carrying HLA-DRB1*13 were detected.

conclusionsCompared with Western population, our patients had less psoriasis and PsA burden. The frequencies of HLA-Cw*06, HLA-Cw*12, and HLA-DRB1*07 were not increased. In contrast, HLA-Cw*0702 and HLA-DRB1*08 allele frequencies were increased compared with psoriasis patients and normal population in Taiwan. Future studies are still needed to characterize the demographic and genetic features of high need PsA patients.
