Microbiological analysis of patients with inverse and plaque-type psoriasis.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe hypothesis that the fungal and/or bacterial microbiome of the flexural folding area may be an etiopathogenetic factor for inverse psoriasis is still under discussion.
aimWe aimed to compare clinical features, demographic features, and microbiological data of patients with inverse and plaque psoriasis. MATERIALS AND
methodsDemographic and clinical data were recorded from patients with inverse psoriasis, psoriasis vulgaris, and control groups. The study took place between October 2023 and March 2024. Microbiological gel swab samples were taken randomly from either axillary or inguinal regions of lesional and non-lesional areas of the three study groups to examine the presence of pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative and diphtheroid bacteria.
resultsThe rates of positivity in Wood's lamp examination and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index scores were significantly higher in the inverse psoriasis group than the control and psoriasis vulgaris groups. The rates of diphtheroid and Gram-negative bacteria growth were higher in the lesional areas of the inverse psoriasis group than the non-lesional areas of the other groups.
conclusionThe results suggest that the flexural microbiota may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of inverse psoriasis, which warrants further investigation.
