The Association of Psoriasis, Diabetes Mellitus, and Hypertension: A Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Psoriasis is a systemic disease affecting various organs; however, it is usually thought of as a skin disease. A multidisciplinary approach is needed for better outcomes. The current meta-analysis assessed the association between diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, and psoriasis. We searched four databases, including Cochrane Library, PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar, for relevant articles using the following keywords: psoriasis, hypertension, high blood pressure, cardiovascular risk factors, and diabetes mellitus. The author's name, year, and country of publication, diabetes, and hypertension among patients with psoriasis and control subjects were collected and entered into a Microsoft Excel sheet. Out of 1209 articles retrieved, 903 articles remained after duplication removal. From the 82 full texts screened, only seven studies fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Psoriasis was associated with diabetes and hypertension: odds ratio 1.38, 95% CI 1.17-1.64; P-value 0.0002, chi-square 224.93, and odds ratio 1.60, 95% CI 1.41-1.81, P-value 0.00001, chi-square 226.59, respectively. Substantial heterogeneity was observed (
