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: Guselkumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-23p19, has shown durable efficacy and safety in global phase III trials and real-world studies. However, in Chinese populations, comprehensive real-world evidence regarding its effects across disease severities, body areas, and metabolic parameters remains limited. Objective: To conduct a multidimensional evaluation of guselkumab in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis based on Chinese clinical practice standards. Methods: This retrospective analysis enrolled 90 patients receiving guselkumab and assessed efficacy from multiple dimensions, along with adverse events, drug survival, and metabolic indicators. Composite indices were used to evaluate coronary artery disease (CAD) and insulin resistance risk. Results: Guselkumab showed sustained efficacy over 76 weeks in Chinese patients. Body area analysis showed significantly faster clearance of head lesions, with 40.0% of patients achieving complete clearance at week 4, compared to only 16.0% for lower extremities ( Conclusion: This study confirms the durable efficacy and safety of guselkumab in Chinese patients with plaque psoriasis, with early response heterogeneity favoring the head. Treatment did not increase CAD or insulin resistance risk. Normal BMI and biologic-naïve status were associated with superior efficacy, supporting precision management strategies that integrate cutaneous and systemic monitoring.
