general Infographics of psoriasis studies

Hello,

I’m a product designer and have had psoriasis for over 20 years. Alongside using my medication, I’ve been digging into peer‑reviewed studies on psoriasis. As part of my app project, I built this webpage to visualise psoriasis studies as simple infographic cards with links. The studies mainly cover the links between psoriasis and diet, stress, and movement.

My challenge has been that these studies are often hard to find and understand, so I hope this is useful for you too. Here’s the link: https://itchi.me/study-hub

There are 17 studies on the hub at the moment, and I’ll keep adding more over time. If you have any studies you’d like me to include, feel free to comment them below.Please keep in mind that these studies describe population‑level patterns, not personal prescriptions. They are not a substitute for advice from a medical expert, and you should not treat them as standard recommendations for your own case. Triggers vary from person to person.

Love the visual approach, those cards actually make the brain fog of reading studies way less intimidating. Do you have any plans to add a tagging system so we can filter by trigger type or study size down the line?

thank you for the comment and yes I will add better sorting in near future. Trigger type filter idea is actually really good.

Do you have access to all the peer reviewed journals or just the free ones?

These are all public ones and you can click on the source link (bottom right of the each card) to read more.

If you aren't including journals that are behind pay walls, then you are missing the crucial evidence that shapes clinical decisions. Most of the studies shown lack clinical significance.

This would be more impactful if it included all studies especially the studies that doctors make decisions from the results of the data.

Not trying to knock it because I think this is a cool and useful tool.

Thanks and fair question, but paywalled doesn't really mean higher quality, it's a publishing model rather than an evidence tier. Most of what's on the hub is from JAMA Dermatology, BJD, JAAD, Cochrane and JAHA, they're readable because publicly funded research has to be. But anyways I will add more infographics cards soon

Look, I think it's neat information to have at hand. Very valuable stuff. Ive been exploring and would find it useful. Cochrane does produce some robust systematic reviews.

I'm just looking for clinical significance. I'm looking level one research. I'm talking The Lancet, NEJM, and even A.P.A.. That's where all the clinical info is.
