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

backgroundErectile dysfunction (ED) and metabolic syndrome (MeTS) are highly prevalent in chronic plaque psoriasis (CPP).

objectiveThe aim of this lifestyle modification study is to explore the response of MeTS components and ED to a 12-week lifestyle modification program (low-calorie diet and moderate-intensity treadmill walking) in 60 obese men with CPP, mild and moderate ED, and MeTS. THE DESIGN, SETTINGS, PARTICIPANTS, AND

interventionIn this lifestyle modification randomized study, a university-based hospital recruitment of 60 obese men with CPP, mild and moderate ED, and MeTS was randomly performed. Men were randomly assigned to the lifestyle modification group (n = 30, received low-calorie diet and moderate-intensity treadmill walking programs) or waitlist group (n = 30). The following outcomes were assessed as follows: body mass index, psoriasis severity (assessed via psoriasis area and severity index), ED (assessed by the five-item internal index of erectile function), and components of MeTS (waist circumference, blood pressure, serum high-density lipoprotein, serum triglycerides, and serum fasting blood glucose).

resultsTrends of significant improvements in all outcomes were documented in favor of the lifestyle modification group. All outcomes of the waitlist group did not show the same reported significant improvements of the lifestyle modification group.

conclusionA 12-week lifestyle modification program as a tool for weight loss in obese men with CPP is a good therapeutic method to improve psoriasis severity and psoriasis-associated ED and MeTS.
