Drug- or Vaccine-Induced/Aggravated Psoriatic Arthritis: A Systematic Review.
Review in Dermatology and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionDrugs and vaccines have been less studied as inducing or aggravating factors for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) compared with psoriasis. Thus, the present study collected and summarized the publications to date about this issue.
methodsWe conducted a systematic literature search through the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases to identify all reports on potential drug- and vaccine-related PsA events until 28 February 2023.
resultsIn total, 179 cases from 79 studies were eligible for study. Drugs commonly reported include coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccines (6 cases), bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine (3 cases), interferon (18 cases), immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) (19 cases), and biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) (127 cases). Drugs causing psoriasis may also induce or aggravate PsA (6 cases). BDMARD-related PsA mostly occurred in a "paradoxical" setting, in which the bDMARDs approved for the treatment of psoriasis induce or aggravate PsA. The reported latency may be delayed up to 2 years. Peripheral arthritis (82.3%) was the most common manifestation of drug- and vaccine-related PsA, followed by dactylitis (29.1%), enthesitis (23.4%), and spondyloarthritis (17.7%).
conclusionsDrugs and vaccines may be implicated in the aggravation of PsA. Possible mechanisms include cytokine imbalance, immune dysregulation, or inadequate PsA treatment response compared with psoriasis. Most reports are case based without controls, so more studies are needed to further prove the causality. However, early recognition of factors causing or aggravating PsA is important to prevent the irreversible joint damage.
