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

backgroundData on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are scarce. This study aimed to determine the CRF level in patients with PsA and to examine the relation between CRF and disease parameters, cardiometabolic risk profile as well as patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, CRF was measured as peak oxygen uptake (VO

resultsIn 80 patients with PsA (41% females, mean age 51 years (SD=11)), mean VO

conclusionsThe CRF level of patients with PsA was significantly decreased compared to a physically active population with 41% having an impaired CRF. A lower CRF level was substantially associated with impaired disease control, unfavourable body composition, lower self-reported physical activity as well as with higher patient-reported disease impact.
