Tobacco smoking was positively associated with metabolic syndrome among patients with psoriasis in Shanghai: A cross-sectional study.

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.
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
introductionA number of studies have reported a high correlation between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome (MetS), and tobacco smoking is one independent risk factor accounting for the increased prevalence both for psoriasis and MetS. However, few studies have been conducted to assess the effects of tobacco smoking on co-morbidities of psoriasis and MetS.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study with 1014 psoriasis patients recruited from January to May 2021. Patients were recruited with a cluster survey method in Yueyang Hospital (affiliated with Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Shanghai Skin Diseases Hospital (affiliated with Tongji University). Data were collected by face-to-face questionnaire interviews which included basic information, personal life habits, medical history, and clinical examinations. SPSS 24.0 was used for data analysis and a p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThe 1014 psoriasis patients were predominantly males (65.58%), with an average age of 45.98 years (IQR: 34.00-57.00). Of these, 25.74% (261) of psoriasis had MetS and 31.85% (323) were tobacco smokers. Male psoriasis patients had higher tobacco smoking prevalence than female patients. With increasing age and BMI, the prevalence of tobacco smoking among psoriasis patients increased dramatically (p<0.01). Logistic regression indicated that psoriasis patients with tobacco smoking had 1.78 times (95% CI: 1.21-2.60) the probability to have MetS than those without tobacco smoking, even adjusting for potential confounding factors. Moreover, smoking psoriasis patients with MetS consumed more cigarettes per day, with longer smoking duration, but with an older age of smoking initiation.
conclusionsThe prevalence of tobacco smoking and MetS among psoriasis patients was high in Shanghai, and tobacco smoking was positively associated with the MetS among psoriasis patients. Clinicians should recommend psoriasis patients to abstain from tobacco smoking and provide tobacco cessation assistance regularly.
