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

Generalized pustular psoriasis of pregnancy (GPPP) is a rare dermatological condition that significantly affects maternal health and pregnancy outcomes. The treatment of this disease might be very challenging, as only a limited number of effective therapeutic options are available. If the use of systemic drugs is considered, they should ideally effectively control the systemic inflammation without harming the fetus. Here, we report the successful treatment of a severe case of GPPP in a 28-year-old woman using the tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor (TNFi) certolizumab pegol. Additionally, we review the existing literature on the use of this class of drugs for treating GPPP. To date, there are only 11 reported cases of this severe skin condition treated with a TNFi. We also discuss the pathogenesis of GPPP and the rationale behind using TNFi for its treatment.
