A Successful Switch From Ustekinumab to an Extended Dosing Interval of Guselkumab Without Induction in a Patient With Psoriasis Vulgaris.

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
Psoriasis vulgaris, also known as plaque-type psoriasis, is the most common form of psoriasis. It is characterized by erythematous plaques covered with scales. Among the available treatments, the fully human monoclonal antibodies ustekinumab (UST) and guselkumab (GUS) have low immunogenicity. Additionally, GUS has not been found to have a significant risk of inducing the development of clinically relevant neutralizing antibodies. Therefore, we sometimes consider switching to GUS when UST is insufficiently effective. However, switching to another biological agent usually requires an induction phase, potentially incurring additional costs. We herein present the first case of a successful transition from UST 90 mg to an extended dosing interval of GUS without an induction phase. This approach may be a viable and cost-saving option, especially for patients with relatively low disease activity.
