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

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with multisystem comorbidities and impaired mental health. The lesions are typically characterized by sharply demarcated, erythematous plaques covered with silvery scales. Treatment options include topical agents, phototherapy, systemic therapies, and biologic agents. Traditional systemic treatments are generally contraindicated in patients with cancer due to their immunosuppressive effects. Although biologics are widely used in the management of psoriasis, their safety in patients with malignancy remains insufficiently evaluated, as individuals with cancer are typically excluded from clinical trials due to concerns about cancer progression. We report the case of a 61-year-old man whose psoriasis markedly worsened following treatment with sintilimab for pulmonary metastases secondary to colon cancer. The patient was successfully treated with guselkumab, an interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitor, resulting in significant improvement in psoriasis symptoms, while the pulmonary condition remained stable during follow-up after completion of standard cancer therapy. This case highlights the potential utility of IL-23 inhibitors as safe and effective treatment options for patients with concomitant psoriasis and malignancy.
