Ovarian and Endometrial Endometrioid Carcinoma Following the Use of a Biologic IL-17 Inhibitor.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Evidence suggests that IL-17, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, suppresses tumor carcinogenesis; therefore, the use of IL-17 inhibitors accelerates carcinoma growth. We present a case of a perimenopausal female who was diagnosed with synchronous primary ovarian and endometrial endometrioid carcinoma following the use of secukinumab, a monoclonal antibody against IL-17. After eight months of secukinumab, she developed progressive vaginal bleeding, left upper quadrant pain, and abdominal distention. CT imaging displayed a large abdominal mass, and biopsies produced the diagnosis. It is proposed that by inhibiting IL-17, carcinogenesis was expedited. This case highlights a relationship between secukinumab and accelerated carcinogenesis. Consequently, due to the incidence of endometrial carcinoma and the morbidity rate of ovarian carcinoma, individuals taking IL-17 inhibitors may need prophylactic screening and close monitoring.
