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

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the risk of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAVs) among patients with psoriasis in a large population. Patients and Methods: In this population-based study using the collaborative electronic health record research network, the risk of developing AAVs (ie, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)) was analyzed in a cohort of patients diagnosed with psoriasis between 2006 and 2024. Non-psoriasis controls were selected in a 1:1 ratio using propensity score matching. Patients who were diagnosed with AAVs before the index date were excluded. Univariate Cox proportional hazard model and subgroup analyses were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for developing AAVs. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the cumulative incidence curves. The risk of AAVs in psoriatic patients treated with biological agents was explored. Results: After matching, 436,201 patients were included in each cohort. There were 281 incident cases of AAV during follow-up in the psoriasis cohort and 122 incident cases of AAV in the non-psoriasis cohort. The risk of developing AAVs in the psoriasis cohort was significantly higher than in the non-psoriasis cohort (HRs (95% CI) for AAVs, EGPA, and GPA were 2.01 (1.63 to 2.49), 1.84 (1.11 to 3.06), and 2.11 (1.65 to 2.71), respectively. Compared with psoriasis patients who did not receive biologics, those treated with biologics showed no statistically significant increase in AAVs risk (HR 1.31, 95% CI 0.65 to 2.66). Conclusion: Patients with psoriasis have a higher risk of AAVs development. Treatment with biologic agents is not associated with an elevated risk of AAVs.
