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

Growing evidence suggests that obesity is a risk factor for incident psoriasis. This study was aimed to evaluate the association of obesity and metabolic status with the incidence of psoriasis. A total of 418,057 adults were followed-up using a nationwide prospective cohort study in Korea. Participants were stratified based on the body mass index categories and metabolic condition. During the follow-up visit, 11054 (2.6%) cases were found to have psoriasis. Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity were all found to be risk factors for incident psoriasis. The metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUNO) subjects (hazard ratio [HR], 1.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22-1.37) and metabolically unhealthy obese subjects (MUO; HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1. 26-1.41) had a significantly higher risk of psoriasis incidence as compared to metabolically healthy non-obese subjects. The risk of psoriasis development was found to be high among the MUNO and MUO subjects in both sexes and all age groups. In conclusion, the metabolic health status was significantly associated with an increased risk of psoriasis in both obese and non-obese individuals. However, further studies are needed to evaluate whether the control of metabolic parameters can lower the incidence of psoriasis.
