Psoralen and Ultraviolet A Light Therapy for Psoriasis
Abstract
A 52-year-old man with psoriasis seeks treatment for his skin condition. Treatment with psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) is recommended. PUVA has been used since the 1970s for the treatment of psoriasis, although few randomized studies and clinical trials comparing this treatment with no treatment or with other forms of treatment have been conducted. PUVA therapy increases the risks of both nonmelanoma skin cancer and melanoma.

In the citing paper
“Furocoumarins including bifunctional 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and 5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP) are still used in the so-called ''psoralen plus UVA (PUVA)'' therapy of rather frequent hyperproliferative skin diseases, including psoriasis and vitiligo (153-155).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
