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

introductionChronic inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis, are associated with development of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The clot lysis profile (CLP) provides information on both the clotting tendency and fibrinolysis activity. We hypothesized that CLP in uncontrolled psoriasis patients is disturbed towards more clotting/less lysis compared to healthy controls (HC) and that successful psoriasis treatment could normalize the CLP. In this project, we aim to compare the CLP in patients with uncontrolled psoriasis with age- and sex-matched HC and investigate the effect of anti-inflammatory treatment on CLP.

methodsPatients with uncontrolled psoriasis [psoriasis area severity index (PASI) or body surface area (BSA) > 10] (n = 87) and HC (n = 87) were recruited at a tertiary dermatology department. Samples from patients were obtained before treatment and when disease control was obtained (PASI < 3). Amplitude, area under the curve (AUC) and 50% clot lysis time were determined.

resultsAt baseline, psoriasis patients had higher median amplitude and AUC compared with HC (p < 0.0001). After correction for possible confounders (BMI, smoking behavior, psoriatic arthritis, arterial hypertension, diabetes and coronary artery disease), the increased amplitude in psoriasis patients compared to HC remained significant. Successful anti-inflammatory treatment resulted in a significant decrease in amplitude (p = 0.0365).

conclusionThis is the first prospective study comparing the CLP of psoriasis patients with that of HC. A significant increase in both amplitude and area under the curve, indicative of a hypercoagulable CLP, was observed in psoriasis patients compared to HC. After successful anti-inflammatory treatment, amplitude significantly decreased.
