Differences in quality of life in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus with varying income levels.
Article in Lupus, 2021. 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
backgroundCutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an autoimmune photosensitive skin condition. The impact of income on quality of life has been incompletely characterized in CLE.
objectivesWe aimed to assess how annual income affects quality of life among CLE patients.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study of 238 patients with CLE, relationships between predictor variables including annual income and each SKINDEX-29 + 3 subdomain were identified using univariate and multivariable analyses. In addition, answers to individual SKINDEX-29 + 3 questions were compared across income groups. Clinical factors in patients making less than <10,000 USD (N = 85) with worse SKINDEX-29 + 3 scores were also identified by univariate and multivariable analyses.
resultsPatients making <10,000 USD annually experienced worse quality of life across multiple SKINDEX-29 + 3 subdomains (p < 0.05). These patients specifically experienced poorer quality of life relating to social isolation and self-consciousness. (p < 0.001). Among those making <10,000 USD, predictors for worse quality of life included females, smokers, and those with higher skin disease activity were identified (p < 0.05).
conclusionsLower income is related to poorer quality of life in patients with CLE. Specifically, patients experience limitations regarding social isolation and self-consciousness.
