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

introductionPsoriasis and eczema are chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Environmental factors play an important role in the pathogenesis and exacerbation of both conditions.

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate factors associated with exacerbation of psoriasis and eczema and compare those factors between both diseases, with the aim of identifying the significant differences between the two conditions.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients diagnosed with psoriasis and eczema in Thailand. Demographic characteristics, clinical data, and aggravating factors were collected and compared between both groups. Demographic characteristics and clinical data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while aggravating factors were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.

resultsA total of 280 patients participated in this study: 192 psoriasis patients and 88 eczema patients. In 97.3% of psoriasis patients and 99.7% of eczema patients, aggravating factors were reported during disease exacerbation. Mental stress and inadequate sleep were significantly associated with psoriasis exacerbation, while humid environment and dust were significantly associated with eczema exacerbation rather than psoriasis exacerbation.

conclusionInternal factors, such as mental stress and inadequate sleep, have a greater influence on the worsening of psoriasis, whereas external factors, including a humid environment and dust, have a more significant impact on eczema flare-ups than on psoriasis exacerbation.
