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: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated skin disease with a chronic relapsing-remitting course. Hyperglycemia has been shown to correlate with psoriasis severity. However, whether it could trigger psoriasis flares is not known. Objective: To investigate the association between hyperglycemia and psoriasis exacerbation. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study at a university-affiliated hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, between 2008 and 2022 to examine the effects of elevated HbA1c on psoriasis flares. Patients with psoriasis vulgaris and either type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) who had at least 2 HbA1c values were identified. Statistical analyses were performed using mixed-effects logistic regression. Results: A total of 201 psoriasis patients (95 with severe psoriasis and 106 with mild psoriasis) with 1,717 follow-up visits were included in the analysis. In patients with severe psoriasis, HbA1c ≥ 7% (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 1.905 (95% confidence interval: 1.328-2.731)) and alcohol consumption status (adjusted OR: 3.328 (1.235-8.965)) were identified as independent prognostic factors for psoriasis flares. Meanwhile, in mild psoriasis patients, none of the variables were independently associated with psoriasis flares. Conclusion: Hyperglycemia and alcohol consumption were associated with exacerbation in patients with severe psoriasis who had T2DM/IFG.
