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
Introduction: Tobacco smoking is associated with the onset and severity of psoriasis, and understanding the prevalence of tobacco smoking among patients with psoriasis is critical due to its high physical and mental influence and heavy disease burden. However, evidence on the association between tobacco smoking and psoriasis severity is still limited in China. Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of tobacco smoking and explore the association between tobacco smoking and diseases severity among patients with psoriasis. Methods: A total of 4,529 patients with psoriasis in 200 selected hospitals were recruited in China between January 2020 and September 2021. Detailed information covering demographic feature, tobacco smoking, and psoriasis history were collected through an electronic questionnaire, and clinical data were extracted from the health information system (HIS). SAS 9.4 was used for data analysis, and a Results: The prevalence of tobacco smoking was 30.8%, with 24.6% for current smoking. The average Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score for patients with psoriasis was 9.4, with male patients having a higher PASI score than female patients. The odds ratio (OR) of former tobacco smoking prevalence was 1.5 [95% confidence interval (CI): (1.0-2.3)] for PASI score (3.0-7.0), 2.2 for PASI score (7.1-13.0), and 4.2 for PASI score >13, when compared with patients with PASI score < 3.0. Similarly, the OR of current tobacco smoking prevalence was 1.8 [95% CI: (1.5-2.2)] for PASI score (3.0-7.0), 1.9 for PASI score (7.1-13.0), and 3.1 for PASI score >13, when compared with patients with PASI score <3.0. The Spearman correlation analysis indicated that both tobacco smoking intensity and smoking duration were positively correlated with psoriasis severity ( Conclusion: The prevalence of tobacco smoking was high, especially among male patients with psoriasis and those with senior high education. Tobacco smoking was positively associated with psoriasis severity; moreover, both smoking intensity and smoking duration were positively correlated with the severity of psoriasis in a dose-dependent fashion.
