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

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a severe, relapsing skin disorder characterized by widespread erythema and sterile pustules. Classical systemic therapies often yield suboptimal results. Xeligekimab is a novel, fully human anti-interleukin-17A (anti-IL-17A) monoclonal antibody recently approved in China for plaque psoriasis. Its efficacy in GPP has not been previously reported. This report presents two cases of refractory GPP successfully treated with xeligekimab. Both patients- a 25-year-old male and a 70-year-old male had long-standing GPP that was unresponsive to conventional systemic therapies including acitretin and methotrexate. After receiving a single 200 mg dose of xeligekimab, both patients exhibited rapid and significant clinical improvement within 3 to 4 days. Remarkably, one patient remained in remission at the 3-month follow-up after only one injection. This is the first report to suggest that xeligekimab is a potent and promising therapeutic option for inducing rapid and sustained remission in patients with GPP.
