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

backgroundThe relationship between psoriasis and aging remains unclear. Biological age is considered as a tool for strong association with aging, but there is a lack of reports on the relationship between biological age and psoriasis. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between biological age and psoriasis.

methodsPatients with psoriasis and non-psoriasis were recruited from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (12,973 cases), Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) (558 cases) and The First Clinical Medical College of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (206 cases). Biological age was calculated using Klemera-Doubal method age (KDM-age) and phenotypic age (PhenoAge). Linear regression and logistic regression were used to explore the association between psoriasis and biological age advance. Cox regression was used to investigate the association between biological age advance and mortality. Finally, biological age advance was used to predict the death of psoriasis patients.

resultsIn NHANES, linear regression showed that psoriasis led to a 0.54 advance in PhenoAge (Adjust Beta: 0.54, 95CI: 0.12-0.97, p = 0.018). The KDM-age advance due to psoriasis was not statistically significant (p = 0.754). Using data from China, we came to the new conclusion that for every unit rise in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, PhenoAge advance rose by 0.12 (Beta: 0.12, 95CI: 0.01-0.22, p = 0.031). Using NHANES data, cox regression shows for every unit rise in PhenoAge advance patients had an 8% rise in mortality (Adjust hazard ratio: 1.08, 95CI: 1.04-1.12, p < 0.001). Using MIMIC-IV, logistic regression showed a 13% increase in mortality within 28 days of admission for every 1 unit rise in PhenoAge advance (odds ratio: 1.13, 95CI: 1.09-1.18, P < 0.001). Finally, we used PhenoAge advance to predict death, with an AUC of 0.71 in the NHANES, an ACU of 0.79 for predicting death within 1 years in the general ward of MIMIC-IV. In the ICU of MIMIC-IV, the AUC for predicting death within 28 days was 0.71.

conclusionPsoriasis leads to accelerated biological aging in patients, which is associated with the severity of psoriasis and more comorbidities. In addition, PhenoAge has the potential to monitor the health status of patients with psoriasis.
