Exploring the risk association between psoriasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma using the NHIS database.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAsthma (AS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are prevalent chronic airway disorders with shared inflammatory pathways. Considering the systemic inflammatory nature of psoriasis, this study utilized the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to investigate its potential association with COPD and AS.
methodsData from the 2023 NHIS were analyzed, with participants selected based on specific inclusion criteria. A baseline table was constructed, and multivariate logistic regression models, along with risk stratification analysis, were employed to examine the correlations between psoriasis and COPD and AS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to assess the predictive value for both conditions.
resultsA total of 27,106 participants were included in the study. Significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics of psoriasis, age, race, region, gender, education, marital status, employment, income, smoking habits, health status, mental health, disability, heart attack history, BMI, prediabetes, cancer, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, arthritis, coronary heart disease, stroke, health insurance, anxiety, and depression (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression revealed a strong association between psoriasis and COPD (model 1: OR 2.63, 95% CI: 2.13-3.23, P < 0.001; model 2: OR 2.43, 95% CI: 1.95-2.99, P < 0.001; model 3: OR 1.54, 95% CI: 1.21-1.96, P < 0.001). A similar association was found between psoriasis and AS (model 1: OR 1.68, 95% CI: 1.42-1.97, P < 0.001; model 2: OR 1.74, 95% CI: 1.47-2.05, P < 0.001; model 3: OR 1.32, 95% CI: 1.11-1.56, P < 0.01). The ROC analysis based on model 3 demonstrated substantial predictive power of psoriasis for COPD, with an AUC of 0.881.
conclusionPsoriasis was identified to have a strong association with COPD and AS, which provided valuable insights into understanding the pathogenesis of these diseases.
