Using wearable technology to objectively investigate physical behaviour and determine health outcomes of a physical activity intervention in patients with psoriasis.
Article in Skin health and disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Sedentary behaviour has a detrimental effect on health independent of the amount of physical activity undertaken. Despite the association of cardiometabolic and psychosocial comorbidities with psoriasis, how physical behaviour influences health outcomes in patients with psoriasis is poorly understood. Objectives: We hypothesized that objective measurement of physical behaviour, using wearable digital technology, would have utility in understanding the clinical impact of an exercise intervention designed in partnership with patients with psoriasis. Methods: Fourteen patients with psoriasis completed a 20-week study. During weeks 1-10, participants followed an incrementally progressive, exercise intervention, followed by independent activities during weeks 11-20. Accelerometers (GENEActiv Original) and pedometers recorded physical behaviour. Evaluation at week-0, -10, and -20 included assessment of psoriasis, cardiometabolic disease/risk, psychological health and functional capacity. Results: Our intervention supported significantly increased physical activity, including moderate-vigorous physical activity ( Conclusion: Objective measurement of physical behaviour, using wearable digital technologies, offers a mechanism to further understand the clinical impact of lifestyle behaviour interventions. Crucially, despite increased levels of physical activity, we observed no change in total waking hour sedentary time. Further investigation is required to establish how modification of physical behaviour could offer an adjuvant management strategy for patients with psoriasis.
