Psoriasis/Psoriatic Arthritis Patients' Long-term Treatment Patterns and Adherence to Systemic Treatments Monitoring Recommendations.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Limited information exists regarding treatment of patients with psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis in primary care. The aim of this study is to assess treatment patterns, adherence, persistence, and compliance in newly diagnosed patients with psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis from 2012 to 2018 in Stockholm, Sweden. In addition, laboratory monitoring before initiation of treatment and at recommended intervals was quantified for patients prescribed methotrexate or biologics. A total of 51,639 individuals were included, with 39% initiating treatment with topical corticosteroids and < 5% receiving systemic treatment within 6 months post-diagnosis. During a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 7 (4-8) years, 18% of patients received systemic treatments at some point. Overall, 5-year persistence rates were 32%, 45% and 19% for methotrexate, biologics, and other systemic treatments, respectively. Pre-initiation laboratory tests, as recommended by guidelines, were performed in approximately 70% and 62% of methotrexate and biologics users, respectively. Follow-up monitoring at recommended time intervals occurred in 14-20% and 31-33% of patients prescribed methotrexate and biologics, respectively. These findings highlight gaps in the pharmacological care of patients with psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis, including suboptimal adherence/persistence and inadequate laboratory monitoring.
