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

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with psoriasis. Pulmonary involvement is a rare extra-articular manifestation of the disease characterized by rigidity of the chest wall and apical pulmonary fibrosis. Pleural effusion is uncommon in PsA. We present four cases of patients with PsA who developed pleural effusions. We report for the first time a PsA patient who was drug-naïve and developed unilateral pleuritis. We also describe one PsA case with pleuritis while he was on methotrexate (MTX) and two PsA cases on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. The literature review revealed six cases with pleural effusion, which were drug-induced. These patients presented pleural effusions while they were treated with MTX (2 patients) and TNF inhibitors (4 patients). In PsA patients with pleuritis, a detailed investigation to rule out infections is necessary. In addition, increased pharmacovigilance will detect cases of drug-induced serositis.
