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

Objectives: Psoriasis is associated with systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation, raising concerns about its potential link to antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). However, evidence on the risk of APS in psoriasis patients remains limited. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the TriNetX US Collaborative Networks (2002-2022). Propensity score matching (1:1) was performed to balance demographic variables, comorbidities, and medication use between 288,678 psoriasis and non-psoriasis patients. The univariate Cox proportional hazard model and subgroup analyses were used to estimate the hazard ratio for APS. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the cumulative incidence curves. Results: After matching, each cohort included 288,678 patients. Psoriasis patients exhibited significantly higher APS incidence (1,349 cases vs. 673 in controls; HR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.56-1.88). Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) further amplified risk (HR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.58-2.31). Subgroup analyses identified elevated APS susceptibility in older adults, females, Black/African American individuals, and those with chronic comorbidities. Conclusions: Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are significant risk factors for APS, highlighting the need for targeted screening and management strategies in these populations.
