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

introductionPsoriatic arthritis (PsA), a disease with complex inflammatory musculoskeletal manifestations, complicates psoriasis in up to 30% of patients. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of an interdisciplinary dermatological-rheumatological consultation (IDRC) for patients with psoriasis with musculoskeletal symptoms.

methodsThis prospective study enrolled 202 patients with psoriasis. Patients with musculoskeletal pain (MSP) (n = 115) participated in an IDRC 12 weeks after enrollment. The outcome was evaluated after 24 weeks.

resultsIn 12/79 (15.2%) patients seen in the IDRC, the prior diagnosis was changed: eight with a first diagnosis of PsA, four with a diagnosis of PsA rescinded. Treatment was modified in 28% of patients. Significant improvements in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) (from 5.3 to 2.0; p < 0.001) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) (from 6.7 to 4.5; p = 0.009) were observed. By comparing changes in PASI and DLQI over the study period, an improvement in PASI of 0.7 ± 1.4 points (p = 0.64) and in DLQI of 2.9 ± 1.5 points (p = 0.051) could be attributed to participation in the IDRC.

conclusionAn IDRC of patients with psoriasis with MSP leads to a valid diagnosis of PsA and improvement in quality of life. Based on these results, an IDRC is a valuable and time efficient way for psoriasis patient with MSP to receive optimal care.
