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

Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is an extreme and often refractory variant of psoriasis with high morbidity and increased mortality, and is frequently classified as a dermatological emergency. The pathophysiology of EP is largely unknown but is thought to differ from that of plaque psoriasis. Treatment of EP is challenging, and usually based on clinical experience and patient co-morbidities, due to its low incidence and limited clinical evidence. Conventional treatments, such as topical glucocorticoid therapy, cyclosporin, acitretin, and methotrexate have some but limited efficacy in EP, and treatment discontinuation may result in flares. Newer biological drugs, including anti-TNF, anti-IL-17, and anti-IL-12/23 agents, have shown promise in therapeutic management of EP, but most of the available evidence is currently based on small case series and reports. Few studies have compared available treatment options for EP, and further clinical studies are necessary to provide clinical data and optimal treatment guidelines for EP patients. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the background of EP, assess the available clinical data on the efficacy of targeted therapies, and aim to provide a foundation for clinical decision making for this rare form of psoriasis.
