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
backgroundPsoriasis vulgaris (PV) is a chronic inflammatory disorder frequently associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aims to provide a prospective tissue characterization in patients with PV without major CVD using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).
methodsPatients with PV underwent laboratory assessment, a 12-lead and 24-h ECG, and a CMR exam at a 1.5-T scanner. Scan protocol included assessment of left (LV) and right (RV) ventricular function and strain analysis, native and post-contrast T1 mapping, T2 mapping and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE).
resultsIn total, 60 PV patients (median(IQR) age in years: 50.0 (36.0-60.8); 34 men (56.7%)) were recruited and compared to 40 healthy volunteers (age in years: 49.5 (37.3-57.8); 21 men (53.0%)). No differences were found regarding LV and RV function (p = 0.78 and p = 0.75). Global radial and circumferential strains were lower in patients (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). PV had higher global T1 times (1001 (982-1026) ms vs. 991 (968-1005) ms; p = 0.01) and lower global T2 times (48 (47-49) ms vs. 50 (48-51) ms; p < 0.001); however, all values were within local reference ranges. Focal non-ischemic fibrosis was observed in 17 (28.3%) PV patients.
conclusionDeep cardiac phenotyping by CMR revealed subclinical myocardial injury in patients with PV without major CVD, despite preserved LV and RV function. Diffuse and focal fibrosis might be the first detectable signs of adverse tissue remodeling leading to reduced circumferential and radial myocardial deformation. In the background of local and systemic immunomodulatory therapy, no signs of myocardial inflammation were detected. The exact impact of immunomodulatory therapies on the myocardium needs to be addressed in future studies. STUDY REGISTRATION: ISRCTN71534700.
