Paradoxical Psoriasis Induced by Ustekinumab: A Comprehensive Review and Case Report.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
Ustekinumab (UST), a biologic agent targeting interleukin-12 and interleukin-23, is widely used in the management of psoriasis and Crohn's disease. Despite its efficacy, there have been instances of paradoxical psoriasis induction or exacerbation in some patients during UST therapy. This paper offers a comprehensive review of reported cases of UST-induced paradoxical psoriasis, including a case from our clinic. We focus on a 39-year-old female patient with a history of long-standing Crohn's disease who developed a psoriasiform rash, as confirmed by biopsy, while undergoing UST treatment. The patient's clinical journey, from initial diagnosis through the complexities of treatment adjustments due to various complications including drug-induced lupus and the subsequent onset of psoriatic manifestations, provides insight into the challenges encountered in the clinical management of such cases. This review emphasizes the necessity for clinicians to recognize the possibility of paradoxical psoriasis in patients receiving UST treatment and calls for further research to better understand this phenomenon and devise effective management strategies.
