Does ultrasound detect joint and intestinal changes in psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis after immunobiological treatment: A case report.
Article in World journal of radiology, 2025. 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
backgroundUltrasound (US) can be a valuable tool for assessing arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially in cases of psoriatic disease. The clinical case reviewed in this article addresses an exploratory finding that evaluates the effects of immunobiological treatments on dactylitis and IBD with the use of US techniques. CASE SUMMARY: A 40-year-old Caucasian woman with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ulcerative colitis (UC) reported experiencing finger pain, knee arthritis, and bloody diarrhea. She showed a high Disease Activity index for PsA score and a severe Mayo score. She began treatment with adalimumab. Over the course of six months, the 18 MHz US procedure was performed on her joints and a 3.5 MHz US on her intestines. The joint US indicated dactylitis and swelling in her finger joints, while the intestinal US revealed 6.6 mm swelling in the sigmoid colon, increased abdominal fat, and high Doppler signal. Her fecal calprotectin level was 5984 mg/kg, and a colonoscopy showed that UC extended to the hepatic flexure, along with mild narrowing of the transverse colon. After six months treatment, all parameters showed improvement, including a remission of the Mayo score, better colonoscopy results, and Limberg score of 0.
conclusionMore research is needed to find out the importance of using US in patients with PsA and UC as this could improve treatment strategies.
