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

Paradoxical psoriasis is a rare but increasingly recognized adverse effect of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) therapy, characterized by the onset or exacerbation of psoriatic lesions in patients treated for other immune-mediated conditions. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with chronic plaque psoriasis who developed severe generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) after six months of treatment with an adalimumab biosimilar. Given the extent and severity of the eruption and following inadequate response to previous conventional therapies, the patient was treated with brodalumab, an interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17RA) inhibitor. Rapid and complete remission of both pustular and plaque psoriasis was achieved and maintained for over 60 weeks. This case supports the efficacy of IL-17 pathway blockade in managing paradoxical GPP and highlights the importance of prompt recognition and appropriate therapeutic switching in severe biologic-induced psoriasis.
