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

introductionPalmoplantar psoriasis is classified as nonpustular palmoplantar psoriasis (NPPP) or palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP).

objectiveWe sought to shed light on the phenotypic diversity of nail psoriasis and conducted a thorough study of the dermoscopic features of nail lesions from patients with NPPP and PPP.

methodsA prospective study included 35 patients with NPPP and 20 patients with PPP who had findings of nail psoriasis in at least three of their nails. Demographic and clinical data, such as general characteristics, history, a thorough dermatological examination, and musculoskeletal assessment, were recorded. Each patient had their nails evaluated with videodermoscopy. The statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS software, including descriptive and analytical statistics.

resultsDermoscopic patterns of nail lesions in both groups differed from those seen in psoriasis vulgaris. Trachyonychia was the most common dermoscopic pattern among NPPP patients. Nail bed pustules were found in 75% of the PPP patients, and they were the most common dermoscopic finding identifying PPP nail lesions. In comparison to the NPPP group, patients with PPP had a higher frequency of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and higher palmoplantar psoriasis and nail psoriasis severity scores. In the PPP group, all patients with PsA had pustules.

conclusionsNail psoriasis has a heterogeneous presentation and various clinical manifestations in NPPP, PPP, and psoriasis vulgaris. The differences in dermoscopic patterns of nail lesions among NPPP, PPP, and psoriasis vulgaris reflect the diseases' distinct characteristics. A thorough dermoscopic examination of the nails may reveal information about both the underlying pathophysiological pathways and the overall course of psoriasis.
