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

Increased risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) may be linked to systemic inflammation for patients with psoriasis. Guselkumab is an effective treatment for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis that was previously shown to reduce inflammatory biomarkers in three phase 3 randomized controlled trials [to week 16 in VOYAGE 1 (A Study of Guselkumab in the Treatment of Participants with Moderate to Severe Plaque-Type Psoriasis)/VOYAGE 2 (A Study of Guselkumab in the Treatment of Participants with Moderate to Severe Plaque-Type Psoriasis With Randomised Withdrawal and Retreatment) and week 12 in ECLIPSE (A Study to Evaluate the Comparative Efficacy of CNTO 1959 (Guselkumab) and Secukinumab for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Plaque-Type Psoriasis) ].
