A 3-Year Multicentric Study on Switching from Ustekinumab to Guselkumab in Partial Responders with Psoriasis-IL PSO (Italian Landscape Psoriasis).
Article in Dermatology and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionGuselkumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting the p19 subunit of interleukin-23 (IL-23), has shown efficacy in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. However, long-term real-world data on its effectiveness in patients with inadequate response to ustekinumab are limited. This study investigates guselkumab's long-term effectiveness and safety in patients with psoriasis with partial response to ustekinumab.
methodsWe performed a retrospective multicentric study analyzing data of patients with psoriasis from seven Italian hospitals between January 2021 and May 2024. The study included 169 patients who switched from ustekinumab to guselkumab. Primary endpoints were Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75, PASI 90, PASI 100, and absolute PASI ≤ 2. Site-specific Physician Global Assessment (PGA) scores were also collected for difficult-to-treat areas.
resultsThe study included 169 patients. After 3 years of treatment, PASI 75, PASI 90 and PASI 100 were achieved by 88.4%, 55.8%, and 32.6% of patients, respectively. Site-specific PGA showed significant improvements, especially in the scalp and genital areas. After 3 years of treatment, no significant impact of higher body mass index (BMI) or cardiometabolic comorbidities on guselkumab effectiveness was detected. No severe adverse events were reported during the study period.
conclusionsIn our study, guselkumab provided significant long-term effectiveness and safety in patients partially responsive to ustekinumab, improving both PASI score and site-specific PGA and confirming its potential use for patients with psoriasis switching from ustekinumab.
