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

backgroundPsoriasis is an incurable, chronic skin disorder with considerable impact on the quality of life. No drugs are available for treating the disease. Clarifying the progression, exploring the risk factors affecting progression, and finding effective treatments with few side-effects and low recurrence rates is critical. This protocol describes a future study that will analyze psoriasis vulgaris progression risk factors and trends, establish a multicenter clinical registration platform, evaluate clinical evidence for Chinese Medicine (CM) intervention for psoriasis, and evaluate therapeutic effectiveness and recurrence rate advantages of CM.

methodsThe study is a prospective cohort clinical trial planned for October 2019 to September 2021 involving 20 clinics. The trial will enroll 1,500 participants in a psoriasis vulgaris group, and 500 healthy participants in a control group (no intervention). The psoriasis vulgaris group will be divided into three equal-sized subgroups: blood heat syndrome group (BHS), blood stasis syndrome group (BSS), and non-blood heat nor blood stasis syndrome group (NHS) group. Participants will be grouped according to CM syndrome classification and receive oral CM herbal medication (according to the CM syndrome classification, and tailored to the participant's disease progression). Medication will be administered twice every day during the intervention phase (eight weeks of intervention, and eight weeks of follow-up). Exposure measures include demographic variables, risk factors, and intervention factors. DISCUSSION: The primary outcome measures include improvement in both the psoriasis and severity index scores after eight weeks of intervention. Secondary outcome measures include body surface area affected, Physician Global Assessment scores, Dermatology Life Quality Index, pain-relat ed quality of life, pain on visual analog scale, CM syndromes, and recurrence. Other outcome measures include CM physical scale, personal history, medical expenses, and patient satisfaction. The number, nature, and severity of adverse events will be carefully recorded.
