Certolizumab-induced sarcoidosis in a patient with psoriatic arthritis - a case report and review of literature.
Review in Rheumatology international, 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
Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF- α) antagonists are considered a significant therapeutic option in the treatment of sarcoidosis. Nevertheless, their use can also paradoxically result in sarcoidosis-like reactions. Here, we present a case of a 56-year-old patient with psoriatic arthritis who after 3 months of certolizumab therapy developed pulmonary sarcoidosis. Therefore, certolizumab was discontinued and prednisone initiated. Subsequently, 4 months later a complete remission of interstitial lesions was observed. Due to insufficient control of psoriatic arthritis, upadacitinib and methotrexate were prescribed and despite initial improvement, a couple of months later a massive exacerbation of skin psoriasis occurred and the treatment was switched to secukinumab. As of today, no evidence of sarcoidosis recurrence has been noted. Drug-induced sarcoidosis-like reactions (DISR) appear to be less frequently associated with certolizumab rather than with other anti-TNF-α agents. However, specific mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unclear and require future investigation.
