Associations between psoriatic arthritis and mental health among patients with psoriasis: A replication and extension study using the British Association of Dermatologists Biologics and Immunomodulators Register (BADBIR).
Article in Skin health and disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Despite some evidence that psoriatic arthritis (PsA) may increase psychological burden in psoriasis, the mental health of this subpopulation is under-investigated. Objectives: To investigate whether PsA is associated with higher depression and anxiety in moderate-to-severe psoriasis; explore whether pain mediates these associations; and estimate the prevalence of undiagnosed and untreated depression. Methods: Baseline data from British Association of Dermatologists Biologic and Immunomodulators Register (BADBIR) participants completing the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were analysed. Results: 707 patients ( Conclusions: PsA comorbidity in psoriasis is associated with higher anxiety; its association with depression appears to be robust when milder depressive syndromes are included, but less consistent for higher-threshold depression definitions. Depression remains unrecognized and untreated in over half of moderately-to-severe psoriasis patients. Routine depression and anxiety screening is recommended in psoriasis and PsA. PsA comorbidity may increase depression and anxiety in psoriasis through pain experience.
