Systematic review of biologic use for psoriasis in HIV-positive individuals from 2018 to 2024.
Synthesis in Archives of dermatological research, 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
Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory systemic condition mediated by T-lymphocyte activation. In patients with concomitant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, treatment of psoriasis remains a therapeutic challenge due to disruptions in the immune system targeting the quality and quantity of T-cell counts. Limited data exists on the knowledge of the utilization and tolerance of small-molecule and biologic therapies used for psoriasis in HIV-positive (HIV +) individuals. This study aims to provide an updated review detailing reports of efficacy and safety trends currently reported in the literature. A systematic review of PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases between January 2018 and April 2024 was performed, which included original investigations, reviews, case reports, and series of reported individuals with a prior diagnosis of psoriasis, and either a previous, or novel diagnosis of HIV during initiation of treatment. 19 articles with 24 cases were included in this review, including treatments apremilast (n = 5), adalimumab (n = 1), etanercept (n = 2), ustekinumab (n = 4), secukinumab (n = 5), ixekizumab (n = 2), brodalumab (n = 1), guselkumab (n = 1), and risankizumab (n = 3). Treatments were effective at improving cutaneous symptoms of psoriasis in all cases and 2 cases reported alleviation of psoriatic arthritis. Adverse events were seldom reported and were managed without interruption of medication. Higher evidence research is necessary to objectively determine the efficacy and safety profiles of these therapies in HIV + individuals.
