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

backgroundPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, potentially debilitating inflammatory arthritis often associated with psoriasis. Understanding the epidemiology of PsA across diverse populations can provide valuable insights into its global burden and the role of genetic and environmental factors. This study aimed to estimate PsA's temporal trends, prevalence, and incidence, while assessing variations in age, gender, and ethnicity in Israel from 2016 to 2022.

methodsData were sourced from the Clalit Health Services (CHS) database, covering over half of the Israeli population. Algorithm-based definitions for PsA and psoriasis cases were used. Demographic factors, including age, gender, socioeconomic status (SES), ethnicity, urban/rural residence, BMI, and smoking status, were analyzed. Standardized prevalence and incidence rates were calculated. Logistic regression analyses examined associations of sociodemographic variables with PsA.

resultsIn 2022, the prevalence of PsA was 0.221%, with an incidence rate of 13.54 per 100,000 population. This prevalence has tripled since 2006, reflecting a rising trend in PsA over time. Females exhibited a higher prevalence (1.15; 95%CI 1.09-1.21), and PsA was more common in Jewish individuals (1.58; 95%CI 1.45-1.71) those with higher SES (1.4; 95% CI 1.31, 1.5), and those with obesity (2.17; 95%CI 2.04-2.31).

conclusionsThis comprehensive population-based study pointed to an increase prevalence of PsA, emphasizing the rising healthcare demands and economic burden faced by this patient population. Further research is essential to delve into the factors driving these trends.
