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

Background Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with multiple organ manifestations such as arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. While recent therapeutic advancements in systemic biologics have demonstrated efficacy against psoriasis, a complete cure has not been achieved and patients require lifelong treatment to control symptoms. Objective This study aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of psoriasis patients treated with biologics at an extended interval. Methods This study included patients with psoriasis who were administered biologic therapy for longer than the standard interval (at least a week) and who objectively maintained favorable conditions (static Physician's Global Assessment ≤ 0 to 1). Clinical characteristics, such as body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), and body fat percentage, were compared to those of patients who were administered biologic therapy at standard intervals. Results Among 162 Japanese patients with psoriasis, 35 were treated with biologics at extended intervals. In the group with extended treatment intervals, patients treated with interleukin (IL)-17 inhibitors (n = 15) presented statistically lower BMI than those treated with IL-23 inhibitors (n = 17) (
