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

aimTo conduct a systematic review and Meta-analysis to examine the association between uveitis and psoriatic disease, and to evaluate whether one condition predisposes individuals to the other.

methodsWe performed a comprehensive search of PubMed and EMBASE to identify cohort studies examining the association between uveitis and psoriatic disease [psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis (PsA)]. We used a random-effects model to calculate the pooled relative risks (RRs) adjusted for confounders, along with the 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsThis Meta-analysis included a total of 6 studies and a maximum of 80 178 648 participants. Compared with non-psoriatic controls, uveitis risk was significantly elevated in patients with psoriasis (RR=1.49; 95%CI: 1.08-2.07), and PsA (RR=3.16; 95%CI: 2.16-4.63). Furthermore, pre-existing uveitis was associated with a significantly increased risk of psoriasis (RR=1.62; 95%CI: 1.44-1.83), and PsA (RR=4.44; 95%CI: 3.52-5.60).

conclusionThe results of this systematic review and Meta-analysis suggest an overall positive bidirectional association between uveitis and psoriatic disease (psoriasis and PsA), warranting increased awareness among clinicians involved in the management of these two conditions. Therefore, there remains a need for more detailed studies of the possible common pathogenesis of psoriatic disease and uveitis.
