Risk for incident suicidality among psoriasis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Archives of dermatological research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Previous meta-analyses have produced conflicting conclusions about suicidality risk among psoriasis patients. We aimed to update the evidence on the risk for the whole continuum of incident suicidality in psoriasis patients. We performed an update systematic review and meta-analysis and searched CENTRAL, PubMed, and Embase from January 1, 2017 to August 14, 2021 for relevant new cohort studies and incorporated new studies into our previous systematic review. Random-effects model meta-analysis was used to obtain pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analysis was conducted according to age and disease severity. A total of 12 studies were included in this meta-analysis. We detected no significant differences in the risk for incident completed suicide (HR 1.33, 95% CI 0.91-1.95), suicide attempt (HR 1.22, 95% CI 0.96-1.56), suicidal behavior (HR 1.08, 95% CI 0.98-1.19), and suicide ideation (HR 1.74, 95% CI 0.99-3.06) between psoriasis patients and non-psoriatic controls. In the subgroup analysis based on age, an increased risk for incident suicide ideation was observed in pediatric subgroup (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.12-2.03). The updated evidence suggests no increased risk for whole continuum of incident suicidality spectrum in psoriasis patients but an increased risk for incident suicide ideation among pediatric psoriasis patients. Involving mental health professionals may be crucial in psoriasis management especially in young patients.
