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 is a chronic, inflammatory, and immune-mediated dermatological disease of unknown etiology with predominant involvement of the skin, nails, and joints. This study aimed to assess comorbidities patterns in psoriasis patients.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected through a retrospective chart review of the electronic medical record system (Bestcare, Ezcaretech, Seoul, Korea) and by utilizing a structured data collection sheet.

resultsA total of 128 confirmed psoriasis cases were included with a mean age of 44.2 ± 17.3. The sample had 45.7% females and 54.3% males. Nearly half the patients (46.1%) had no comorbidities, followed by those who had at least one comorbidity (24.2%) and those who had two or more comorbidities (29.7%). Most patients were classified as plaque psoriasis (57.0%), followed by those who had psoriatic arthritis (13.3%). There was no statistical significance between gender, body mass index (BMI), and smoking with the number of comorbidities (P= 0.422, P=0.361, P=0.772); 41.2% of psoriatic arthritis patients and all erythrodermic arthritis patients had two or more comorbidities, which is statistically significant at

conclusionThis study demonstrated the prevalence of different comorbidities associated with psoriasis patients; 41.2% of psoriatic arthritis patients and all erythrodermic arthritis patients had two or more comorbidities, which was statistically significant. This necessitates closer monitoring of different comorbidities a psoriasis patient might present with. Especially those who are diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and erythrodermic arthritis.
