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

backgroundAssociation between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and future psoriasis has not yet been confirmed, although the two diseases partially share a common pathogenesis pathway. Studies have revealed an association between psoriasis and subsequent NAFLD; however, these studies were limited to small sample sizes and a cross-sectional study design. Hence, the main objective of this population-based longitudinal cohort study was to evaluate the bidirectional association between psoriasis and NAFLD.

methodsData were retrieved from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Patients with new-onset NAFLD and psoriasis were respectively enrolled in two cohorts. For each comparison cohort, propensity-score-matched controls with no record of NAFLD or psoriasis were selected. An adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) was applied to evaluate subsequent risks.

resultsThe risk of patients with new-onset NAFLD developing psoriasis was statistically significant, with an HR of 1.07 (95% CI, 1.01-1.14). For younger patients with NAFLD, the risk of developing psoriasis was 1.3-fold higher. The risk of patients with new-onset psoriasis developing NAFLD in the future was 1.28-fold higher than that of patients without psoriasis (95% CI, 1.21-1.35), and patients in younger psoriasis subgroups below the age of 40 years were at a higher risk than those in older subgroups, with an aHR of 1.55 (95% CI, 1.40-1.71).

conclusionEvidence supports a bidirectional association between NAFLD and psoriasis, especially in patients below the age of 40 years. The correlation between the two diseases and the subsequent risk of disease development should be considered when caring for patients.
