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

BACKGROUND Dermatology patients continue to receive improved treatment, but for patients with psoriasis, there have been few studies on ways to improve patient management by improving communication with patients and their dermatologists. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of cloud-based interactive patient and physician management of psoriasis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The cloud-based platform was created by professional software engineers to educate and manage patients with psoriasis in a single hospital, where patients and research staff had a network platform for sharing data. A total of 79 patients with psoriasis were included in this study and were randomly divided into the control group (n=39) and the intervention group (n=40). Patients in the control group were given a psoriasis nursing manual and underwent regular follow-up. Patients in the intervention group were managed using the cloud platform, with the same management as the control group. The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) were used. RESULTS Cloud-based interactive patient and physician management resulted in clinical improvement, and reduced the degree of anxiety in patients with psoriasis and improved their physical and mental health. Patients in the intervention group had an improved understanding of psoriasis treatment, resulting in an improved relationship with the medical staff and improved treatment compliance. CONCLUSIONS Cloud-based interactive patient and physician management improved the mental health and quality of life for patients with psoriasis and allowed patients to manage their disease more effectively.
