Rare Case Report of Primary Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis During Ixekizumab Treatment for Plaque Psoriasis.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Biologic agents have become a mainstay in the treatment of psoriasis, particularly in moderate to severe, refractory, and special types of the disease. Among these, ixekizumab is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-17A, approved for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Its adverse effects include infections such as nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infections, and injection site reactions. While the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) associated with IL-17A antagonists is extremely low, this paper reports a case of active pulmonary tuberculosis occurring after ten doses of ixekizumab treatment for chronic plaque psoriasis. This highlights the importance for clinicians to remain vigilant regarding tuberculosis infection in patients undergoing therapy with this class of medications, emphasizing the need for enhanced screening and monitoring for tuberculosis during treatment.
