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

Psoriatic disease, encompassing psoriasis and -psoriatic arthritis, is a chronic inflammatory condition with bidirectional associations with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Current evidence regarding dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors' effects on psoriatic disease presents conflicting findings, with the impact on psoriatic arthritis remaining unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors use and psoriatic disease risk in diabetic patients. A nationwide population-based cohort study was conducted using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (2009-2021), including 78,865 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: 15,773 dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors users and 63,092 matched controls. Primary outcomes were incident psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. During a median follow-up of 7.08 years, 393 cases developed psoriatic disease: 51 cases in the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors cohort vs 342 cases in controls. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors therapy was associated with significantly lower psoriatic disease risk (adjusted hazard ratio 0.583, 95% confidence interval 0.430-0.696). Individual dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors demonstrated varying protective effects, with alogliptin showing the strongest protection. In vitro experiments confirmed that dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors significantly attenuated inflammatory responses in human skin cells. This large-scale nationwide study demonstrates that dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors use is associated with a 41.7% lower risk in psoriatic disease in diabetic patients.
