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

Biologics are the most effective treatment for moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Insurance approval and need for prior authorization continue to be a barrier to care for many patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. We sought to determine whether race/ethnicity, insurance type, and provider specialty affect biologic approval times. Records from the University of Miami Health System were reviewed, and 101 patients were included. Need for a prior authorization was significantly associated with long waits (p = 2.4 × 10
