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

The development of psoriasis and alopecia areata (AA) is multifactorial. The interleukin-17 (IL-17) cytokine is believed to be associated with the pathophysiology of both diseases. This case report demonstrates a 64-year-old female patient who experienced a new onset of AA after the initiation of IL-17A inhibitor, secukinumab, for the treatment of her psoriasis. To our knowledge, there are only three case reports specifically discussing IL-17A inhibitors and AA. This case report highlights a potential rare but significant side effect of IL-17A inhibitors.
