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

Psoriasis-related stigmatization affects nurses' willingness to provide care, potentially compromising patient outcomes. However, limited research has examined this issue. A cross-sectional survey of 1,873 nurses was conducted, which assessed 4 stigmatization dimensions and their correlation with the willingness to care for patients with psoriasis, and explored the roles of education, working environment, and self-reported psoriasis knowledge. Structural equation modelling and regression analyses were conducted. The results revealed that stigmatization negatively impacted nurses' willingness to provide care (p < 0.001), with social distance exhibiting the strongest effect (r = -0.476, OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.85-0.88, p < 0.001). A significant dose-response relationship was observed, where higher stigmatization levels corresponded to lower care willingness (overall trend test: p < 0.001; nonlinear trend test: p < 0.001). Nurses with higher education levels (p < 0.001) or those working in tertiary hospitals (p < 0.001) demonstrated lower willingness to provide care. Interestingly, greater self-reported psoriasis knowledge was associated with increased stigmatization, which in turn reduced care willingness (direct effect: -0.618; 95% CI: -0.814, -0.422; proportion mediated: 29.0%, 95% CI: 0.094, 0.486). These findings underscore the need for targeted training programmes, improved work environments, and stigma-reduction initiatives to enhance nurses' willingness to care for patients with psoriasis.
