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 obesity often occur together, with up to 50% of patients with psoriasis being classified as obese. This increases systemic inflammation, cardiovascular risk, and disease severity while reducing the efficacy of biologic treatments. Despite this overlap, dermatology lacks obesity-specific guidance. This review evaluates lifestyle, pharmacological (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists [GLP-1 RAs] and tirzepatide) and surgical strategies, as well as clinic-level algorithms, to inform dermatological practice.

methodsWe performed a narrative synthesis of epidemiology, randomized trials, real-world studies, and guideline recommendations. Our focus was on the pathophysiology and the efficacy of GLP-1 RAs and tirzepatide, providing a practical algorithm pathway for triage, pharmacotherapy escalation, and referral criteria to a multidisciplinary unit.

resultsAlthough there are no psoriasis-specific guidelines for obesity treatment, the strong link between the two conditions and the poorer therapeutic response observed in obese patients make addressing excess weight essential for people with psoriasis. The proposed algorithms emphasize universal lifestyle counseling and dermatology-led management for patients with a BMI (body mass index) < 35 kg/m

conclusionDermatologists should integrate obesity assessment and patient-centered interventions into psoriasis care. A structured, multidisciplinary approach could meaningfully enhance dermatological, metabolic, and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with psoriasis and obesity.
