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 AND

objectivesPsoriasis vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, associated with multiple cardiovascular comorbidities, which can ultimately lead to increased mortality. Dermatological rehabilitation programs represent an additional therapeutic option in patients with psoriasis besides the classical outpatient or inpatient management. This study aimed to investigate the impact of dermatological rehabilitation on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life at the Clinic of Dermatology, Bad Bentheim, Germany. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis prospective study included 105 patients (age > 18 years) with known psoriasis and/or psoriasis (pustulosa) palmoplantaris committing to a 3-week long rehabilitation program. Various patient reported outcomes including dermatological life and quality index, patient global assessment, physical activity, pruritus and smoking and alcohol consumption history were captured. Body mass index (BMI) and physical fitness were also assessed. Study parameters were collected by telephone at baseline, at discharge, and at 3 and 6 months.

resultsSignificant improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (p < 0.001), BMI (p < 0.001), quality of life (p < 0.001), patients subjective estimation of disease severity (p < 0.001) and psoriasis area and severity index (p < 0.001) were shown.

conclusionsThe findings emphasize the importance of a rehabilitation program for patients with psoriasis due to its positive and sustained effects on cardiovascular risk factors.
