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

backgroundMultiple comorbidities, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), have been reported to be associated with psoriasis.

objectiveThis study aimed to determine the prevalence and the clinical features of RA among patients with psoriasis in a tertiary referral center.

methodsBetween January 2000 and December 2013, all patients coded with psoriatic disease (ICD-9 CM 696.0 OR ICD-9 CM696.1) and RA (ICD-9 CM 714.0) in a tertiary medical center were enrolled.

resultsThere were 10,844 patients and 9073 patients with psoriatic disease and RA identified by diagnostic codes, respectively. Among patients with psoriasis, 111 patients had claim-based diagnosis of RA (1.02%). By reviewing medical records and telephone interview or clinic visits, 25 of the 111 patients (0.23%) was identified unequivocally as having concurrent RA. Among them, 17 (68%) were female and 16 (64%) patients developed arthritis prior to the onset of psoriasis with a mean lag of 6.3 years (1-19 years); 8 (32%) had psoriasis skin lesions prior to the onset of arthritis with a mean lag of 6.9 years (3-20 years); 1 (4%) had skin lesions and arthritis in the same time; 17 (68%) patients also fulfilled the CASPAR classification criteria for psoriatic arthritis. The mean age of onset for arthritis was 49.6 years old.

conclusionsThe prevalence of RA in psoriasis might be overestimated in some previous studies using claimed database. Patients with concurrent RA and psoriasis showed a comparable age of onset and male to female ratio, but had more axial involvements compared to patients without psoriasis.
