Understanding Barriers Impacting upon Patient Wellbeing: A Nationwide Italian Survey and Expert Opinion of Dermatologists Treating Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A nationwide cross-sectional online survey was administered to dermatologists managing patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis across Italy to obtain real-world dermatologists' perspectives on the impact of psoriasis and its treatment on patients' daily lives and quality of life (QoL). A total of 91 dermatologists (aged 39.1 ± 11.2 years) completed a 31-question survey and workshop sessions were undertaken in order to identify the best management approach to achieve patient wellbeing. Social (4.2 ± 0.1), physical (4.26 ± 0.2) and mental components (4.1 ± 0.3) were rated by dermatologists as contributing to patient wellbeing to similar extents. While a high proportion (85.4%; rating of 4.3 out of 5) of dermatologists felt that they considered the QoL of patients, a lower proportion (69.6%; rating of 3.7 out of 5) felt that patients were satisfied in this regard. The psoriasis area and severity index and body surface area were the instruments most frequently used to assess the physical domain, while interviews/questions and the dermatology life quality index were used to assess social and mental domains, with only 60% of dermatologists following up on these aspects. The importance of investigating the presence of comorbidities was recognized but not always carried out by many dermatologists, (>70%), particularly for obesity and anxiety/depression. This survey identified key components contributing to barriers impacting on the QoL of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis from the perspective of the dermatologist.
