Disease burden and treatment challenges of psoriatic arthritis in Africa and the Middle East.
Review in Rheumatology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, inflammatory arthropathy occurring in up to 30% of patients with psoriasis, and is characterized by multiple manifestations including peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis, spondylitis, and psoriatic skin and nail disease. This complex and heterogeneous disease is poorly understood and its diagnosis and treatment are suboptimal, particularly in Africa and the Middle East, where very few studies into the impact of PsA have been carried out. This article aims to highlight the disease burden of PsA in the region as well as to identify unmet clinical needs. A non-systematic review was carried out in the PubMed database and the most relevant publications were selected. Expert rheumatologists practicing in Africa and the Middle East provide an insight into the challenges of treating PsA in daily practice, along with recommendations for improvements.
