The Effects of Brodalumab on the Fungal Microbiome in Patients with Psoriasis.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The gut microbiota plays a critical role in immune system function, with dysbiosis linked to systemic inflammation, contributing to conditions like psoriasis and depression. Although biological treatments for severe psoriasis are known to impact gut bacteria, less is understood about their effects on fungi. This study aims to investigate fungal gut microbiota changes in psoriasis patients transitioning from TNF-α inhibitors to brodalumab. Fecal samples from 20 patients were analyzed using Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the ITS2 region of 18S rRNA. Microbial diversity was assessed through Bray-Curtis dissimilarity and the Shannon-Wiener index. Clinical outcomes were measured using clinical scores for psoriasis and depression severity, with statistical analysis performed via Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and PERMANOVA. Results showed that Ascomycota was the dominant fungal phylum in both treatment groups, with
