Prevalence of Autoimmune Diseases Among Patients With Psoriasis: A Single Tertiary Center Experience.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 common chronic inflammatory skin disease with an autoimmune etiology. Psoriasis has been presumed to be associated with several autoimmune diseases. We sought to determine the prevalence of autoimmune diseases in patients with psoriasis in a large referral tertiary care center. Methods This is a retrospective and cross-sectional chart review of patients with confirmed psoriasis diagnoses in the dermatology clinic of King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The electronic charts of patients were individually reviewed for autoimmune diseases such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, alopecia areata, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease and celiac diseases. Results A total of 839 cases were included, 56.4% of whom were females. Most patients were between 31 and 50 years old (37.1%). The most common autoimmune disease was hypothyroidism (6.8%), seen more in females. The second most common autoimmune disease was alopecia areata (3.6%), followed by atopic dermatitis (2.9%). Rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel diseases were uncommon in our cohort. Conclusion In this single-center retrospective cohort of patients with psoriasis, hypothyroidism and alopecia areata were the most commonly encountered autoimmune diseases. Larger, multi-center studies are needed to evaluate the prevalence of autoimmune diseases among patients with psoriasis.
