Systemic treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced psoriasis: Inference-based guidance.
Synthesis in Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology : JEADV, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are increasingly used to treat various cancers. Their use may result in immune-related adverse events, including psoriasis. When managing psoriasis, induced or exacerbated by an ICI, there are concerns regarding immunosuppression from systemic agents for the treatment of psoriasis (saPs) and the potential impact on ICI efficacy. No direct, high-level evidence exists to address these concerns.
objectiveTo address clinically relevant questions regarding the management of ICI-mediated psoriasis (ICI-Ps) with saPs.
methodsWe convened a multidisciplinary panel of 15 international specialists in dermatology, oncology, immunology, and rheumatology. A Delphi process defined clinical concerns related to the systemic treatment of ICI-Ps, focusing on the potential of saPs to impact ICI effectiveness. The saPs considered included biologics targeting tumour necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-17, IL-12/23 and IL-23, traditional systemic therapies (cyclosporine, methotrexate), small molecules targeting phosphodiesterase-4 or tyrosine kinase 2, systemic retinoids (acitretin), and systemic corticosteroids. A systematic review of the literature was supplemented with evidence supporting an inference-based methodology to derive conclusions on the use of systemic therapies in patients with ICI-Ps. The specialist panel rated the strength of the conclusions using a probabilistic scale.
resultsAfter reviewing the totality of direct and indirect evidence, we drafted inference-based conclusions and ascribed a level of support, focusing on the potential impact of saPs on ICI efficacy. This work provides a structured framework informing healthcare professional and patient discussions on the risks and benefits of using saPs in patients with cancer who experience ICI-Ps.
conclusionsAlthough there is no direct evidence, we support the following conclusions: saPs may be used to treat ICI-Ps without an appreciable loss of ICI effectiveness. Generally, it is not necessary to interrupt ICI therapy. When available, non-steroid saPs are preferred over systemic corticosteroids for the treatment of psoriasis.
