Sex differences in cytokines and adipokines in obese patients with PsA and controls undergoing a weight loss intervention.
Article in RMD open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveIn this post hoc analysis of a previously published study, we compared cytokines and adipokine levels in women and men with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) at baseline (BL) and 6 months (M6) following a weight loss intervention.
methodsPatients with PsA (n=41) between 25 and 75 years of age, with body mass index (BMI)≥33 kg/m
resultsAt BL, serum levels of interleukin (IL)-23, leptin and high molecular weight-adiponectin were higher in women with PsA compared with men, whereas serum levels of interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-12/IL-23 p40 and IL-13 were significantly lower in women. Serum IL-23 was significantly reduced at M6 compared with BL in women but not in men with PsA. In women with PsA, the reduction in IL-23 at M6, ∆IL-23, were positively correlated with ∆Disease Activity Score 28 C reactive protein (CRP) (Spearman's correlation (r
conclusionsWomen and men with PsA differed with regard to serum levels of cytokines and adipokines before and after weight loss.
