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

backgroundIn this study, we aimed to investigate different types of celiac antibodies in psoriasis patients and to see if the presenceof the antibodies was associated with other variables.

methodsWe included patients with plaque psoriasis who were followed up in our dermatology clinic between February 2019 and February 2021 and added a healthy control group for comparison. The antibodies studied were serum antitissue transglutaminase (tTG)-IgA, tTG-IgG, antigliadin antibody (AGA)-IgA, and AGA-IgG. The patients' records were used to note age, sex, the pattern of psoriasis involvement, psoriasis area and severity index (PASI), presence of hypertension, presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, use of methotrexate, and use of biologic agents.

resultsSixty-five psoriasis patients (31 F, 34 M, mean age: 38.9 ± 15.2) and 65 controls (42 F, 23 M, mean age: 40.7 ± 13.2) wereincluded in the study. There was no significant difference in antibody levels between the groups: tTG-IgA (2.4 U/mL vs 3.2 U/mL, p = 0.11), tTG-IgG (2.2 U/mL vs 3.2 U/mL, p = 0.74), AGA-IgA (2.4 U/mL vs 3.5 U/mL, p = 0.068), and AGA-IgG (3.2 U/mL vs 4.2 U/mL, p = 0.15). One patient from the psoriasis group only had borderline positive antibody levels whereas the rest of the psoriasis and control group had negative levels. Hypertensive psoriasis patients had significantly higher AGA-IgA titers compared to normotensive psoriasis patients (4.2 U/mL vs 2.3 U/mL, p = 0.005). DISCUSSION: There was no increase in the AGA-IgA/IgG and tTG-IgA/IgG levels in psoriasis patients compared to the healthy population. However, hypertensive psoriasis patients had higher AGA-IgA levels compared to normotensive ones.
