Well-Being in Psoriasis: Weighting its Components Using Best-worst Scaling Methodology.
Article in Dermatology and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionThe Inpsight Project, established in 2021, aimed to define the concept of well-being in patients with psoriasis from a holistic perspective. Well-being was defined as a multi-dimensional concept that includes achieving emotional balance, having adequate overall health and control of the disease, enjoying positive social relationships, and being satisfied with disease care. However, while these components are recognized as integral to the concept, their relative contribution to achieving optimal well-being remains unclear. To address this gap, the present study aimed to determine the relative weight of each component in contributing to optimal well-being, focusing on a Spanish population.
methodsAn observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in Spain using best-worst scaling (BWS). Two questionnaires were developed: one addressed to patients (33 item) and the other to healthcare professionals (HCPs) (18 item). The questionnaires collected sociodemographic and clinical (patients)/occupational (HCP) characteristics of the participants and the BWS scenarios. The 20 components of well-being were randomly distributed across 76 scenarios, with each component paired with others four times to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of all possible combinations. Participants assessed 9-10 randomly selected scenarios and identified the components they considered most (best) and least (worst) important for achieving optimal well-being.
resultsA total of 87 HCPs and 152 patients with psoriasis participated in the study. The five key components for patients were pain (P: 100.00), stress (P: 98.74), treatment satisfaction (92.21), itching (72.05), and lesions in functional locations (P: 69.09). From a HCP perspective, the most important components were mood disorders (100.00), pain (69.39), lesions in functional locations (49.34), self-esteem (49.24), and stigmatization/shame (45.22).
conclusionsThis study highlights the differences between patients and HCPs in their perception of the relative importance and relevance of the components contributing to the well-being of patients with psoriasis. Future research should focus on understanding the cumulative impact of psoriasis on patient well-being.
