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.

Abstract

introductionChanges in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) disease activity, particularly flares, are unpredictable and can impact patients' quality of life. Digital biomarkers derived from data collected via smart devices provide an opportunity for unobtrusive continuous monitoring of symptoms reflecting disease activity. Besides, our understanding of the mechanisms and triggers behind flares is limited. The primary objectives of the Psoriatic Arthritis Digital Phenotyping and Inflammation Drivers (PDPID) study are: (1) to develop digital biomarker capable of detecting PsA flare using data collected from patient's smartphone and smartwatch, and (2) to develop machine learning models for PsA flare prediction using clinical, biological, environmental and digital data. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The PDPID study is a 12-month multi-centre prospective cohort study conducted across four countries. Study visits are scheduled at baseline (T0), and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months follow-up visits, with additional patient-initiated visits due to flare. At inclusion, patients have a study app installed on their smartphone and receive a smartwatch. Flare information is collected using physician- and patient-reported flare questionnaires administered at each visit, and via the flare button in the app that patients can activate. The study collects clinical data (physical measurements, questionnaires), biological markers (salivary DNA, gut microbiome, hair cortisol, C-reactive protein) and environmental exposure data (weather and air pollution). The app includes in-app questionnaires, active photo and video tests and passively captures digital data from the smartphone and smartwatch sensors. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval has been granted from each of the participating countries (Erasmus MC, the Netherlands: MEC-2023-0470; HRA and Health and Care Research Wales, UK: 332916 NOVA Medical School|Faculdade de Ciências Médicas (NMS|FCM) Ethical Committee (CEFCM), Portugal (124/2023/CEFCM); MREC Hipokrateion Hospital Thessaloniki, Greece: 5549/31.01.24). Findings of this study will be disseminated through reports to the funding body, the project website, newsletters, social media, national and international conferences and symposiums, and scientific publications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06347237.
