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

Background: Immunotherapies represented by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment. A large part of the population has both cancer and psoriasis but is usually excluded from ICI clinical trials because of the dysregulated activation of the immune system. This is the first study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ICI therapy in patients with cancer and preexisting psoriasis. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and MEDLINE databases were searched from inception through February 2022. Observational studies on patients with cancer and confirmed psoriasis before ICI initiation were included. Outcomes included the incidence of psoriasis flares, Results: Twelve studies involving 191 patients were included. The pooled incidence of psoriasis flares was 45.0% (95% CI: 31.1%-58.9%, I Conclusions: The flare of patients with cancer and preexisting psoriasis treated with ICI therapy is frequent, but the incidence of Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42022320646.
