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: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare inflammatory skin disorder, frequently accompanied by systemic inflammatory manifestations. Pediatric GPP presents unique clinical features and requires tailored treatment approaches. However, real-world data on pediatric moderate-to-severe GPP remain limited. Objective: To describe the clinical profiles of pediatric moderate-to-severe GPP, evaluate the effectiveness of various treatments, and their impact on disease recurrence. Methods: This retrospective observational study enrolled pediatric moderate-to-severe GPP inpatients in our department from March 2017 to February 2024. Clinical characteristics, treatment regimens, and recurrence were collected and analyzed using electronic medical records and follow-up data. Results: 61 pediatric patients were included, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.54: 1, an average age of 10.6±3.2 years. Concomitant symptoms were present in 93.4% of patients, including pruritus, fever, and skin pain. Common comorbidities included hypoproteinemia, anemia, and hyperlipidemia. Over 80% of patients exhibited elevated inflammatory markers, including IL-6, TNF-α. GPP with psoriasis vulgaris (PV) and without PV had similar clinical presentations. Regarding treatment outcomes, compared with traditional drugs, biologics significantly reduced both hospitalization time (6.0 days vs 8.0 days, Conclusion: For moderate-to-severe pediatric GPP, biologics exhibit faster effectiveness and better safety than traditional systemic drugs. Specifically, biologics can significantly reduce hospitalization time and pustule clearance time, and decrease disease recurrence.
