Journey of Patients with Psoriasis in an Italian Tertiary Centre, an 11-year Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Despite the improvement of psoriasis treatment achieved with the use of biological therapies, some patients still require hospitalization. A retrospective study was conducted including patients affected by psoriasis hospitalized at Fondazione Policlinico Agostino Gemelli IRCCS in Rome, from 1 January 2012 to 1 August 2023, to describe the psoriasis patient journey. Of the 2.223 patients with psoriasis, 1,500 had it as the primary diagnosis. Some 93.2% (2,071/2,223) of patients were affected by plaque psoriasis, 4.8% (108/2,223) presented with erythrodermic psoriasis, and 2.0% (44/2,223) had generalized pustular psoriasis. 1,455/2,223 (65.5%) reported in their medical history psoriatic arthritis, and 771/2,223 (34.7%) hypertension; 328/2,223 (14.8%) psoriatic patients accessed the emergency department (ED), 291 of whom (13.1%) were subsequently hospitalized in different inpatient clinics, while 37 (1.6%) were then discharged. Inpatient clinic admission after ED was required more frequently in generalized pustular or erythrodermic psoriasis (47.7% and 38% respectively) compared with plaque psoriasis (11%). Patients admitted to an inpatient clinic after ED had a longer recovery compared with those admitted electively to an inpatient clinic (13.6 days vs 7.7 days, p < 0.001). Only 490/2,223 (20.9%) patients were admitted to a dermatology service. This study showed a shift in patient management rather than a reduction in hospitalizations.
