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

objectiveWhile the relationship between psoriatic arthritis and skin findings is well-known in patients with psoriasis, the relationship between psoriatic arthritis and nail involvement is less known. In this study, it was aimed to examine the frequency of association between nail involvement and psoriatic arthritis in patients with psoriasis. MATERIALS AND

methodsOur study is a retrospective observational study. It was conducted with 250 regis- tered patients who applied to the dermatology polyclinic and clinic of our university hospital. The follow-up forms of the patients were scanned retrospectively and the findings were recorded.

resultsThe average age of the 250 patients evaluated in this study was 39.62 ± 9.30, and 133 (53.2%) of them were women. The frequency of nail involvement in psoriasis patients was determined to be 36.8% (n=92) and the frequency of arthritis was determined to be 8.8% (n=22). Nail involvement was statisti- cally significantly more common in those with arthritis, and nail involvement was present in all of those with arthritis (P < .001). Nail involvement was significantly more common in those with only arthralgia (P < .001). A significantly higher average of nail psoriasis severity index was found in those with both joint and nail involvement compared to those with only nail involvement (P < .001). There was no statistically significant difference in terms of psoriasis area severity index average (P=.235). Proximal and distal interphalangeal arthralgia and sacroiliac arthralgia were found significantly more frequently in those with nail involvement than in those without nail involvement (respectively P = .007 and P < .001). There was no statistically signifi- cant relationship between nail involvement with the presence of arthritis and the clinical type (respectively P = .288 and P = .955).

conclusionJoint involvement and nail involvement in patients with psoriasis are closely related, and we think that nail and joint involvement in psoriasis patients should be evaluated together.
