1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A wide range of comorbid conditions are associated with psoriasis, many studies have drawn attention to a higher prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities in psoriatic population. Herein, we present a case of a Caucasian 44-years-old man suffering from a severe schizophrenia, who received guselkumab (a human monoclonal antibody targeting the p40 subunit of IL-23) for the treatment of a moderate-to-severe plaque type psoriasis. After 3 months, the patient reached complete resolution of psoriasis without any side effects, maintained at 6 months follow up visit. Some studies have highlighted the hypothesis that an hyperactivation of immune response appears to be one of the main mechanisms underlying the increased risk of this association. In particular, the axis il-17/il-23 plays a central role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Further research will be needed to assess whether anti-IL23 drugs could be a more suitable therapeutic option in psoriatic patients with schizophrenia.
