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

Background: Secukinumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-17A (IL-17A), approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. While effective for many patients, it has been associated with paradoxical reactions such as exacerbation of psoriasis or drug-induced dermatitis. This case report presents a unique occurrence of severe palmoplantar psoriasis triggered by Secukinumab in a patient with psoriatic arthritis and multiple sclerosis (MS), necessitating a switch to another biologic therapy. Case Presentation: A 41-year-old female with a complex medical history including MS presented with severe desquamation and erythematous skin lesions on the hands, feet, and legs following treatment with secukinumab for psoriatic arthritis that necessitated discontinuation of secukinumab. A biopsy suggested drug eruption, with a differential diagnosis including palmoplantar pustular psoriasis. After multidisciplinary consultation, treatment was switched to guselkumab, an IL-23 inhibitor, which resulted in clinical improvement. Conclusion: This case highlights the potential for paradoxical reactions to IL-17 inhibitors and the efficacy of IL-23 inhibitors as an alternative therapy. Multidisciplinary approach was crucial for optimal patient management.
