Treatment Preferences Among Systemic Therapy-Naïve Patients with Atopic Dermatitis or Psoriasis in Germany: A Multicentre Study.
Article in Dermatology and therapy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionDespite the expanding range of approved systemic therapies for atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis (PSO), data on patient preferences remain limited. It is largely unknown whether patients wish to initiate systemic treatment, which route of administration (oral versus subcutaneous) they prefer, or what factors drive their treatment preferences. This study evaluated the desire for systemic therapy among systemic treatment-naïve patients with AD or PSO, including disease-specific influencing factors and preferences for administration routes (subcutaneous injections vs. tablets).
methodsEligible patients with AD or PSO were recruited at two German university hospitals. Questionnaires collected demographic and clinical data, including disease severity, pruritus and pain intensity, quality of life (QoL) impairment, and desire for systemic therapy. Data analysis comprised Mann-Whitney U tests (between-group comparisons), and Spearman correlations (factors influencing therapy desire).
resultsFrom 253 recruited patients, systemic treatment-naïve patients with moderate-to-severe disease severity exclusively using topical therapies were selected (56 with AD, 63 with PSO); 77.8% of patients with PSO and 67.9% of patients with AD desired systemic therapy, mainly for superior efficacy, QoL improvement, and pruritus reduction. Administration preferences differed significantly (PSO 57.1% injections; AD 73.7% tablets; p < 0.005). The desire for systemic therapy moderately correlated with pain intensity (ρ = 0.422, p < 0.001) and QoL impairment (ρ = 0.379, p < 0.005) in AD and with male sex in PSO (ρ = 0.347, p < 0.005).
conclusionsMost topically treated patients with moderate-to-severe AD or PSO desire systemic therapy, with distinct disease-specific administration preferences.
