Epidemiology of Psoriasis in Poland: Prevalence, Incidence, and Mortality Rates.
Article in International journal of dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundAlthough the data on psoriasis epidemiology included in the Global Psoriasis Atlas (GPA) provide valuable information on psoriasis prevalence worldwide, the GPA database is still incomplete. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the prevalence, incidence, and mortality rates of psoriasis and its types in Poland based on the data registered by the National Health Fund (NHF).
methodsThe study included psoriasis patients registered at least twice in the Polish NHF database between 2010 and 2023.
resultsAt the end of 2023, 639,662 living psoriasis patients had been registered in the Polish NHF database, which constituted 1.70% of the Polish general population. The percentage of female psoriasis patients was found to be higher (54.95%) than male patients (45.05%). Of all the Polish NHF-registered psoriasis patients, plaque psoriasis affected 95.66%, pustular psoriasis 3.05%, psoriatic arthritis 7.20%, and guttate psoriasis 0.27%. In comparison to the general Polish population, psoriasis prevalence was observed to be lower in children (0.84%). The all-cause mortality rate among psoriasis patients was found to be higher in comparison to the general Polish population, with a higher mortality rate noted in male psoriasis patients.
conclusionsThe NHF database we studied suggests a direct relationship between the prevalence, incidence, and all-cause mortality rates in psoriasis and patients' age and sex. However, the study also revealed a decrease in mortality rates and a slow increase in the prevalence of psoriasis in the Polish population, which calls for further studies.
