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
Background: To describe CT characteristics of sacro-iliac joints (SIJs) in patients with psoriasis (PsO) without rheumatological manifestations, and compare them with controls of the same age and sex. Methods: A monocentric, retrospective, observational study was conducted using the medical records of the rheumatology and dermatology departments of the Tertiary Medical Center in France. We included patients with psoriasis, without rheumatological manifestations, who underwent a CT scan including the SIJs. Each patient was matched with an age- and sex-matched control who had undergone a CT scan for rheumatological reasons. CT scan slices were interpreted by two independent rheumatologists, a resident and an expert, using a modified score. Joint space narrowing (JSN), erosions, sclerosis, and intra-articular gas were scored. Results: Sixty patients and 57 controls were included. Global SIJs score was higher in the PsO group (6.63 ± 10.7) than in the control group (2.84 ± 4.87). Erosion and sclerosis did not differ between groups; however, the joint space narrowing score was higher in the PsO group (4.15 ± 10.8 vs. 0.873 ± 4.62, P =.035). There were no correlations between the global score and the disease duration or the severity of psoriasis. The number of gestations, active smoking, alcohol intake, and physical work had no impact on the global score. Conclusion: The CT characteristics of SIJ from patients with PsO were different from those of age- and sex-matched controls, essentially secondary to joint space narrowing.
