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

Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease increasingly recognized for its association with elevated cardiovascular risk, driven by immune-mediated endothelial dysfunction and accelerated atherosclerosis. Non-invasive cardiovascular imaging has consistently demonstrated a spectrum of subclinical abnormalities in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, including coronary microvascular dysfunction, high-risk plaque burden, vascular inflammation, myocardial remodeling, and increased arterial stiffness. This critical review summarizes the role of different imaging modalities in detecting psoriasis-associated cardiovascular alterations and evaluates emerging data on the impact of systemic therapies. Imaging abnormalities in psoriasis often precede clinical events and can support early risk reclassification and referral. Biologic therapy is associated with improved coronary microvascular function and with reductions in noncalcified plaque burden and high-risk plaque features on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), and statins reduce vascular
