Influence of comorbidities not associated with fibromyalgia on neuropathic pain in patients with psoriatic arthritis: relationship with clinical parameters.

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
Objective: Neuropathic pain (NP) may influence disease activity assessment in patients with psoriatic arthritis, this relationship being traditionally based on the presence of concomitant fibromyalgia. We analyzed the influence of other comorbidities on NP and the relationship between pain and various clinical parameters. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in patients diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, excluding patients with a previous diagnosis of fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, diabetes and/or dyslipidemia under treatment. NP was identified using the painDETECT questionnaire (score > 18). Obesity and related clinical parameters, anxious and depressive symptoms, sleep quality and fatigue were assessed as comorbidities. Disease activity was measured using the clinical Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (cDAPSA) in peripheral involvement, the ASDAS-PCR in axial involvement, functioning and disease impact were measured using the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index and 12-item Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease questionnaire, respectively. Results: Overall, 246 patients were included (136 men; 55%). The mean age was 53.4 ± 11.0 years. Forty-two patients had NP (17.1%). Patients with NP had higher leptin levels (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.007-1.056; Conclusion: NP was correlated with sleep quality and serum leptin and may be associated with worse disease activity, functioning and disease impact.
