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

backgroundFew studies have evaluated the clinical burden of concomitant joint disease in patients with psoriasis (PSO). The objective of this study was to assess comorbidity rates in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) compared with PSO alone.

methodsThis was a retrospective study of US patients with prevalent PSO. Linked medical claims and electronic health records (EHR) in Optum's de-identified Integrated Claims-Clinical dataset were analyzed from 2007 to 2018. Patients were followed for up to 5 years after the first claim/diagnostic code for PSO (index date). Baseline comorbidity prevalence and follow-up rates (cases per 1000 person-years) were assessed using descriptive statistics. Comorbidity rate analysis included patients with the respective comorbidity at baseline.

resultsBaseline demographics and comorbidity prevalence were numerically similar between patients with concomitant joint disease (PSO-PsA) and those with PSO alone (PSO-only). During follow-up, comorbidity rates were higher in patients in the PSO-PsA group than patients in the PSO-only group. Ratios of PSO-PsA comorbidity rates relative to PSO-only ranged from 1.1 for allergies and infections to 1.7 for fatigue, diabetes, and obesity. Comorbidity rate ratios increased from year 1 to year 5 for hypertension (1.05-1.34), hyperlipidemia (0.94-1.13), diabetes (1.00-1.49), cardiovascular disease (1.03-1.66), depression (0.97-1.19), and anxiety (0.87-0.98).

conclusionsPatients with PsA have a larger clinical burden, characterized by higher comorbidity rates, than those with PSO. Future research should explore PsA risk factors and how physicians can monitor and treat patients with PSO to reduce the risk of PsA and the associated clinical burden.
