Development of Morphea Following Treatment with an ADA Biosimilar: A Case Report.
Article in Current rheumatology reviews, 2024. 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
backgroundTumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is a pivotal cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of certain inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthropathies, and inflammatory bowel diseases. In the last two decades, TNFα inhibitors (TNFi) have revolutionized the treatment and outcome of the above disorders. However, the use of TNFi has been associated with the development of many autoimmune phenomena and paradoxical skin manifestations that may present as the same type of clinical indications for which the TNFi effectively used. Thus, they may display as arthritis, uveitis, colitis, psoriasis, and several other cutaneous clinical manifestations, among them the development of morphea, a localized scleroderma skin lesion. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a 58-year-old woman with seronegative RA, refractory to methotrexate, who was treated with ABP-501 (Hefiya), an adalimumab (ADA) biosimilar and developed an oval-shaped, deep skin lesion of approximately 3.5cm in size, affecting the left part of her back compatible with morphea 3 months after the initiation of therapy. ADA biosimilar was discontinued and two months later, she had substantial skin improvement.
conclusionThis is the first report of morphea manifestation during TNFi biosimilar since the patient had no other trigger factors for morphea development like trauma and infections. Physicians dealing with patients treated with TNFi biosimilars should be aware of paradoxical skin reactions, among them morphea; thus, close monitoring, a minute and careful clinical examination, and a follow- up check are required.
