Periodontal Status and Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis and Psoriasis: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Archives of rheumatology, 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis (PS) are chronic inflammatory disorders characterized by significant systemic involvement and comorbidities. This study investigated the occurrence of periodontitis among PS and PsA patients and evaluated its associations with clinical and demographic factors. MATERIALS AND
methodsComprehensive evaluations were performed, including the Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score (MASES) for all participants, along with PsA-specific assessments such as Psoriatic Arthritis and Composite Psoriatic Disease Activity Index (CPDAI). Dermatological and periodontal clinical parameters were recorded. The participants were organized into 2 groups: those with periodontitis and those without.
resultsThe study included 128 participants: 62 with PS and 66 with PsA. Although the prevalence of periodontitis was higher among PsA patients compared with those with PS (46.97% vs 30.65%), this difference did not reach statistical significance (P = .058). Elevated CPDAI (odds ratio [OR]: 1.38; P = .001) and MASES (OR: 1.39; P < .001) scores were significantly associated with the presence of periodontitis in PsA patients.
conclusionIn this study, patients with periodontitis demonstrated higher disease activity scores, underscoring the importance of incorporating periodontal assessment into the multidisciplinary management of psoriatic disease, particularly in patients with active disease.
