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

introductionIn recent years numerous research studies have indicated that chronic inflammation in psoriasis can be associated with an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis.

aimThe presented study was aimed at demonstrating whether patients suffering from psoriasis vulgaris are at a greater risk of developing atherosclerosis depending on the presence of selected cardiovascular risk factors and the course and severity of the disease. MATERIAL AND

methodsSixty-two patients with diagnosed psoriasis vulgaris and 42 healthy volunteers were included in the study. All the patients underwent carotid ultrasound with the assessment of the common carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and the computed tomography with determination of coronary artery calcification (CAC).

resultsThe IMT was significantly higher in the study group (1.030 ±0.303 mm vs. 0.838 ±0.151 mm,

conclusionsThe study showed an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis in patients diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris, but no correlation was found between the degree of atherosclerosis and the severity of the disease.
