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

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the risk of dermatomyositis among patients with psoriasis in a large population. Patients and Methods: Individuals aged ≥20 years with records in the TriNetX database from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2022 were included. Diagnoses of psoriasis, non-psoriasis, dermatomyositis, and associated comorbidities were established using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code. Patients who were diagnosed with dermatomyositis before the index date were excluded. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed in a 1:1 ratio between the psoriasis group and non-psoriasis group. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to determine the cumulative incidence of dermatomyositis, and the Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the hazard ratio between the two groups. Results: After PSM, 301018 individuals were included in the psoriasis and non-psoriasis groups, respectively. A higher risk of dermatomyositis was identified in patients with psoriasis than in those without (HR: 2.41, 95% CI: 2.01-2.89). This elevated risk was further confirmed in various subgroup analyses. Specifically, patients with PsA exhibited a higher incidence of dermatomyositis than those without PsA (HR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.32-2.28). Patients treated with interleukin-17 inhibitors (IL-17i) showed a significantly higher risk of developing dermatomyositis compared to those naïve to biological agents (HR, 5.79; 95% CI, 1.57-21.31). In the European, Middle East, and Africa network and Asia-Pacific network, the risk of dermatomyositis in patients with psoriasis was higher than that in patients without psoriasis (HR (95% CI): 4.77 (1.40-16.10) and 2.50 (1.33-4.66), respectively). Conclusion: This study revealed a higher risk of dermatomyositis in patients with psoriasis than in those without. The psoriatic patients with PsA or those who had received IL-17i treatment demonstrated a significantly higher risk of developing dermatomyositis.
