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
Objectives: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory papulosquamous skin disease whose psychological and interpersonal effects are underrecognized. This study aimed to evaluate dyadic adjustment and sexual functioning in patients with psoriasis and their spouses, in comparison with healthy controls. Methods: The study included three groups: psoriasis patients (n=47), their spouses (n=40), and healthy controls (HC) (n=42). The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were administered to the patient group, while the Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FDLQI) was administered to the spouse group. The Short Form-12 Health Survey (SF-12), the Dyadic Adjustment Scale-Revised (RDAS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) were administered to all three groups. Results: Sexual dysfunction was observed in 83% of patients, 65% of spouses, and 50% of healthy controls. RDAS total and subscale scores (consensus, cohesion, satisfaction) were significantly lower in patients and spouses compared with healthy controls (p<0.001). Patients had significantly higher BDI scores than both spouses (p=0.016) and controls (p=0.002), and significantly lower physical and mental SF-12 scores. In spouses, FDLQI scores positively correlated with BDI (r=0.369, p=0.021) and negatively with SF-12 mental scores (r=-0.505, p=0.001). Regression analysis revealed that depressive symptoms (p=0.004) and disease duration (p=0.049) significantly predicted sexual dysfunction. Conclusion: Psoriasis exerts a substantial psychosocial burden not only on patients but also on their spouses. Addressing relational and sexual well-being in clinical care may improve overall quality of life for affected couples.
