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

Biologics have expanded the armamentarium for psoriasis, but there has been a growing concern about the risk of lymphoma in patients under tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitor and methotrexate. Besides, the mRNA-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination was known to stimulate the proliferation of T-follicular helper cells. We report a case of a patient with psoriasis under adalimumab developing nodal T-follicular helper cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic-type following the mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine. We suspect that adalimumab, methotrexate, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, previous reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and psoriasis per se predispose our patient to a lymphoma-prone condition, and the two doses of the mRNA vaccine act as the last straw.
