Pediatric psoriasis: from immunogenetics to targeted therapies.
Review in Anais brasileiros de dermatologia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPediatric psoriasis may result in significant cumulative life course impairment, and there is comparatively less evidence available than for adult psoriasis.
objectiveThe aim of this study is to provide an update on the management of pediatric psoriasis, integrating recent immunogenetic and therapeutic advances. It highlights challenges, including clinical heterogeneity, complex differential diagnosis, and limited treatment options, especially in Brazil.
methodsA narrative review was conducted, including studies published in English, Portuguese, and Spanish between 2009 and 2025, retrieved from the United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Cochrane Library, and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). The following descriptors were used: "psoriasis", "child health", "pediatrics", "therapeutics", "comorbidity", and "T-lymphocyte antigen differentiation".
resultsPediatric psoriasis most commonly presents as chronic plaque. Differential diagnoses are broad and include atopic dermatitis and autoimmune diseases. Data about comorbidities, particularly cardiovascular risk, are controversial. Although severe cases are less frequent, they are associated with a substantial impact on quality of life. Conventional therapies include topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, and non-targeted systemic agents such as acitretin, methotrexate, and cyclosporine. Biologic therapies have been approved for pediatric use and demonstrate safety profiles and superior efficacy compared to conventional treatments. STUDY LIMITATIONS: Scarcity of pediatric psoriasis guidelines.
conclusionsDespite advances in understanding adult psoriasis, evidence in pediatric populations remains limited, especially in Brazil. Expanding knowledge in pediatric psoriasis is essential to improve diagnosis, optimize treatment strategies, and increase access to innovative therapies, thereby reducing inflammatory burden and cumulative life course impairment.
