A successful combination of upadacitinib and guselkumab in refractory psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2025. 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
Monotherapy may not be sufficient for the complete control of the psoriatic disease in selected patients. In refractory patients, combining two drugs with different mechanisms of action may result in improved efficacy. Data regarding the combination of biologics and Janus kinase inhibitors are lacking. A 61-year-old man affected by severe chronic plaque psoriasis and peripheral psoriatic arthritis affecting hands and feet, dactylitis, and enthesitis was successfully treated with a combination of upadacitinib and guselkumab. The combination of the two drugs was needed because upadacitinib was effective on psoriatic arthritis, but not on the skin lesions, while responding to guselkumab, which, vice versa, was not effective on psoriatic arthritis. Notably, the patients failed different conventional synthetic and biologic drugs. At a follow-up of 12 months, he had not experienced adverse events or laboratory alterations. Other studies are necessary to confirm the efficacy and safety profile of upadacitinib associated with guselkumab.
