Psoriasis and atrial fibrillation: Exploring the intersection.
Review in World journal of experimental medicine, 2025. 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
This review explores the emerging connection between psoriasis and atrial fibrillation (AF), focusing on shared inflammatory mechanisms, clinical implications, and research gaps. Psoriasis, characterized by chronic systemic inflammation, has been associated with increased AF risk, driven by elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. These inflammatory mediators contribute to atrial remodeling, fibrosis, and conduction abnormalities, evidenced by prolonged P-wave dispersion and atrial electromechanical delay in psoriasis patients. Severe psoriasis further exacerbates atrial dysfunction, increasing susceptibility to AF. This review synthesizes existing epidemiological and biological data, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary management of psoriasis patients to mitigate cardiovascular risks. However, the reliance on observational studies limits definitive conclusions about causality. We emphasize the necessity for large-scale, multicenter research to validate these findings, investigate genetic predispositions, and evaluate lifestyle factors and AF burden. Future research should aim to delineate the pathophysiological link between psoriasis and AF. By examining the interplay of systemic inflammation, electrophysiological changes, and clinical outcomes, this review aims to advance understanding of the psoriasis-AF link and guide strategies for early detection, prevention, and management of AF in psoriasis patients. Comprehensive care integrating dermatology and cardiology is essential for improving patient outcomes.
