Correlations between Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), body mass index (BMI), smoking, and alcohol consumption in patients with psoriasis - a Romanian study.
Observational study in Journal of medicine and life, 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
Psoriasis, one of the most prevalent dermatological diseases, is a chronic inflammatory condition influenced by genetic and environmental factors, such as lifestyle and nutrition. Regarding lifestyle, body weight, smoking, and alcohol consumption have been studied in the last decades, for their association with the risk of developing psoriasis and with its severity. Moreover, the association between diabetes mellitus and psoriasis severity is also under research. In our observational cross-sectional study, we examined a convenience sample of 282 patients with psoriasis vulgaris, aged 18 to 79 years. The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score ranged from 1 to 54, with a mean of 8.34 ± 6.69; patient body mass index (BMI) ranged from 18.80 to 57.19, with a mean of 25.96 ± 5.21, and increased with patient age. A direct correlation was observed between BMI and psoriasis severity; non-smokers generally had lower PASI scores, although the association was not statistically significant (
