Nail enthesis ultrasound and automated software-guided assessment of bilateral common carotid intima-media thickness in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis: is there a correlation with clinical and laboratory findings?
Article in Drugs in context, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundUltrasound (US) in psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an important tool in several situations to detect joint ecostructural damage as well as other tissue alterations, such as those that occur in the larger vessels. The objective of this study was to detect and correlate the changes that indicate the inflammatory and atherosclerotic process in two groups of patients, using nail US and carotid artery intima-media thickness radiofrequency (RF) software.
methodsA total of 30 patients diagnosed with (PsO) and (PsA) were selected. About 15 patients were present in each group, assigned by the Dermatology and Rheumatology Service of the
resultsSpearman and Pearson correlations between US variables per group were Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and loss of the nail pattern trilaminar:
conclusionThe use of US in the evaluation of these patients showed significant correlations between clinical and laboratory measures, characterized by QIMT and FS as well as changes in nail insertion. Future studies may demonstrate an even better interaction.
