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 affects 1-3% of the Canadian population. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA), the most common comorbidity of psoriasis, affects up to 30% of psoriasis patients. The skin microbiome is hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis of psoriatic disease (PsD-psoriasis and PsA).

objectiveTo summarize the current state of literature on the skin microbiome in PsD.

methodsA systematic review was performed using searches in Ovid, Medline, Embase, Medline Epub Ahead of Print and In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). Search was limited to humans and English language, with no limits for date or publication type.

resultsOf 4,032 citations identified, 9 studies met inclusion criteria (7 on psoriasis only and 2 studies compared the microbiome characteristics between psoriasis and PsA). Compared to healthy controls, lesions demonstrated a decreased alpha diversity, higher relative abundances of Firmicutes, and lower relative abundances of Actinobacteria. Less conclusive were genus-level results, which nonetheless demonstrated trends towards increased LIMITATIONS: Study designs were heterogeneous, including sampling technique and exclusion criteria.

conclusionsPhyla- and selected genus-level characteristic of the psoriatic microbiome are presented; further research is warranted.
