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

Diabetes and psoriasis are prevalent conditions with a spectrum of serious adverse outcomes. Both diseases are common comorbidities for each other, and diabetes is considered as a risk factor for psoriasis and vice versa. However, it is our contention that these diseases are not merely comorbidities of each other but rather share common underlying pathophysiologies (ie, genes and epigenetic changes, inflammation, abnormal environment, and insulin resistance) that drive disease. As such, they can be viewed as facets of the same prism. Genes can cause or permit susceptibility to damage from abnormal external and internal environmental factors, inflammation, and insulin resistance which can also drive epigenetic changes. These co-existing mechanisms act in a vicious cycle over time to potentiate cell and tissue damage to ultimately drive disease. Viewing diabetes and psoriasis through the same prism suggests potential for therapies that could be used to treat both conditions. Although additional controlled trials and research are warranted, we believe that our understanding of the overlapping pathophysiologies continues to grow, so too will our therapeutic options.
