Prevalence and type II diabetes-associated factors in psoriatic arthritis.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Diabetes is a common cardiovascular risk factor in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Although the prevalence of diabetes is high, the factors associated with it in PsA are poorly understood. We aimed to analyse the prevalence of type II diabetes and diabetes-associated factors in a hospital-based population with PsA. This cross-sectional study included 340 consecutive patients attended in a tertiary care hospital. The prevalence of diabetes was compared to that of 600 outpatients without inflammatory conditions. To analyse diabetes-associated factors, odds ratio (OR) values were calculated by conditional logistic regression analysis. Significant variables in the univariate analysis were then introduced in a multivariate analysis with a backward stepwise approach. Diabetes was more prevalent among PsA patients (13.8 vs. 5%, OR 2.8, 95% CI: 1.7-4.3, p < 0.0001). Diabetes-associated factors in the univariate analysis (p < 0.05) were the following: an age of onset of psoriasis > 40 years, an age of onset of arthritis > 40 years, a low educational level, family history of psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, high number of swollen joints during follow-up, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and cardiovascular events. After controlling for several confounders, diabetes was significantly associated with late-onset psoriasis (OR 8.2, 95% CI: 1.9-12.4, p = 0.002) and hypertension (OR 7.5, 95% CI: 1.5-13.3, p = 0.008). Diabetes risk should be carefully evaluated in patients with PsA whose psoriasis begins after 40 years.
