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

Our case-control study of 60 patients with psoriasis vulgaris (PsV), 20 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and 34 healthy control participants in Ho Chi Minh City Hospital of Dermato-Venereology from October 2019 to September 2020 aimed to evaluate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and associated factors in patients with PsV and PsA. Results showed that in the PsV group, significant correlations of NLR with Psoriasis Area and Severity Index and the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level was noted (r=0.374 and r=0.352, respectively; P=0.003 and P=0.006, respectively). NLR was also related to PsA (P=0.007, OR=1.57). The area under the curve (AUC) for NLR in predicting PsA was 0.7554 (cut-off, 2.239; sensitivity, 85%; specificity, 61.67%). PLR was also related to PsA (P=0.008, OR=1.01). The AUC for PLR was 0.6513 (cut-off, 159.6; sensitivity, 55%; specificity, 88.33%). Thus, complete blood count parameters can reflect the inflammatory status of patients with PsV and PsA. NLR and PLR may be potential diagnostic markers for PsA in patients with psoriasis. Future studies should aim to assess the value and usage of these parameters.
