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

backgroundPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients may have elevated serum uric acid levels, and hyperuricemia may impact the degree of inflammation and clinical disease severity.

objectivescomparison between PsA patients with and without hyperuricemia and assessment of the effect of hyperuricemia on clinical presentation, disease activity, disease severity, and associated comorbidities in PsA patients.

methods76 PsA patients with hyperuricemia and 74 PsA patients with normal uric acid as control were included. Demographic, clinical, comorbidities, and laboratory data were collected. Hyperuricemia threshold ≥ 60 mg/L.

resultsThere were no significant differences between patients with and without hyperuricemia regarding gender, PsA articular subtype, PASI score, and treatment received, while patients with hyperuricemia were older (40.47 ± 8.53 vs 34.59 ± 7.29, p = 0.0001), had more comorbidity, higher body mass index (BMI) (28.49 ± 2.07 vs 26.91 ± 1.63kg/m2, p = 0.0001), DAPSA score (16.75 ± 7.04 vs 9.32 ± 6.35, p = 0.0001), ESR (34.78 ± 7.12 vs 28.55 ± 8.97, p = 0.0001), CRP (11.42 ± 3.23 vs 8.68 ± 4.04, p = 0.0001), serum cholesterol (220.42 ± 46.83 vs 169.82 ± 37.82, p = 0.0001), and triglycerides (136.47 ± 36.4 vs 104.89 ± 22.15, p = 0.0001), and longer duration of Psoriasis and PsA. The serum uric acid levels were significantly positively correlated with age, duration of Psoriasis, duration of PsA, BMI, CRP, ESR, DAPSA, and PASI score. Multivariate analysis showed that male sex, BMI, and increased disease activity were independent predictors of hyperuricemia in PsA patients.

conclusionPsoriatic arthritis patients with hyperuricemia have higher age, BMI, disease activity, and more associated comorbidities. In PsA patients, hyperuricemia was associated with male sex, BMI, and increased disease activity, but not associated with PASI score. Key Points • Psoriasis, PsA, and hyperurice s is a bi-centric case-control retrospective of cardiovascular disease. • Male gender, BMI, and increased disease activity were independent predictors of hyperuricemia in PsA patients. • Psoriatic arthritis patients with hyperuricemia have been more associated with comorbidities.
