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

Background: Patients with psoriasis often experience emotional distress, which may be alleviated through psychological interventions. Objective: To evaluate online Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) as an adjuvant treatment for psoriasis, focusing on severity of lesion, anxiety, depression, quality of life, and itching. Methods: This randomized trial enrolled 109 patients with psoriasis assigned to either treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU plus MBCT, which included 8 weekly online sessions. Primary outcomes included Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), Self-Rating Anxiety/Depression Scale (SAS/SDS), and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Itching was a secondary outcome measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Assessments were conducted at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Treatment effects were analyzed with mixed linear models. Results: A total of 109 patients were randomized 1:1 to MBCT + TAU ( Limitations: Single-center. Conclusions: Adjunctive online MBCT led to improvements in psoriasis severity, depression, DLQI and itching, suggesting its potential to enhance comprehensive psoriasis management.
