Effect of Psychological Intervention on Quality of Life Among Patients with Psoriasis: A Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPsychological distress can significantly obstruct the treatment outcomes of patients with psoriasis. This meta-analysis aimed to examine the effects of psychological intervention on the mental health and functional capabilities in patients with psoriasis.
methodPubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for relevant studies published up to May 1, 2023. The primary outcome was a change in anxiety, depression, and quality of life (QoL). Standardized mean difference (SMD) was calculated, and 95% confidence interval (CI) was determined for the estimation.
resultsThis meta-analysis involved 1048 subjects, including 515 patients who received psychological interventions and 533 patients in control groups who did not receive psychological interventions. The results showed that psychological intervention significantly improved anxiety symptoms (SMD - 0.41; 95%CI - 0.77, - 0.05; I
conclusionPsychological intervention ameliorated anxiety symptoms in patients with psoriasis but had no significant impact on depression or QoL.
