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

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, potentially life-threatening disease characterized by episodes of widespread sterile macroscopic pustules, with or without systemic inflammation and/or plaque psoriasis. Multiple GPP subtypes have been described, from acute GPP of von Zumbusch to milder, annular pustular psoriasis. Generalized pustular psoriasis mainly affects adults, with a female preponderance, but juvenile GPP also occurs. Flares are a hallmark of GPP and may occur de novo or be provoked by triggers, including withdrawal of systemic corticosteroids, infections, stress, pregnancy, and menstruation. Severity of flares varies widely between patients, and between flares in an individual patient. Significant flares are often accompanied by systemic symptoms, notably fever, general malaise, and extracutaneous manifestations such as arthritis, uveitis, and neutrophilic cholangitis. Common laboratory abnormalities include neutrophilia, elevated C-reactive protein levels, hypocalcemia, and abnormal liver function tests. The clinical course of GPP is highly variable; it can be a relapsing disease with recurrent flares and no pustulation between flares or a persistent disease with perpetual mild pustulation punctuated with flares of greater severity. Patients may have multiple flares per year or a flare every few years. Most flares last 2-5 weeks and approximately 50% require hospitalization. Life-threatening complications include sepsis and renal, hepatic, respiratory, and heart failure. Reported mortality rates are 2-16%.
