Psychiatric disorders in psoriatic patients: a cross-sectional study in multi-government hospitals.
Article in Archives of dermatological research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Psoriasis is chronic skin condition that leads to disfigurement and disability. Individuals with psoriasis often face stigma in their everyday lives. This research aims to evaluate the coexistence of psychiatric diseases in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis and seeks to assess the impact of these psychiatric disorders on patients' quality of life, raise awareness among healthcare professionals, and enhance the standard of care for the assessment and management of psoriasis. A total number of 246 patients with chronic psoriatic (patients' group) and additional 246 age and sex-matched individuals served as the control group. Informed consent was obtained, and ethical approval was granted. The study followed case-control, cross-sectional design with thorough examinations, and assessment tools including mental health questionnaire based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-4 and DSM-5), along with the PCASEE model for assessing health status and quality of life. There was a strong association between psoriasis and psychiatric disorders, particularly in patients with visible lesions and severe disease. Depression is strongly associated with the severity of psoriasis, while anxiety and social phobia appear unrelated to disease severity. In conclusion, this work highlights the importance for comprehensive care strategies that include both the physical and mental health needs of psoriatic patients. We highly recommend that dermatologists screen psoriasis patients for depression, anxiety, and suicidality, and remain vigilant for severe psychiatric conditions.
