Upadacitinib Successfully Treated Dupilumab-Associated Generalized Pustular Psoriasis in a Pediatric Patient with Atopic Dermatitis: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in dermatology. 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
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis are both T-cell-mediated inflammatory skin diseases. While dupilumab effectively treats moderate-to-severe AD, paradoxical psoriasiform eruptions, including rare cases of generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), have been reported. These reactions often show poor response to conventional therapies, presenting significant therapeutic challenges. We present a case of a 6-year-old child with AD who developed GPP following dupilumab therapy and was successfully treated with upadacitinib. Case Presentation: A 6-year-old girl with a 5-year history of AD was initiated on dupilumab therapy after an inadequate response to antihistamine treatment. Although initial symptoms improved, the patient rapidly developed GPP-like skin lesions throughout the body on day 11. Despite treatment with high-dose corticosteroids and cyclosporine, the patient experienced recurrent generalized pustules and developed erythrodermic psoriasis-like manifestations. Subsequently, upadacitinib was added at a dose of 15 mg every other day, following which the skin lesions gradually improved and completely resolved within 1 month. During the subsequent 6-month follow-up period on continued medication, no recurrence of skin lesions or adverse events was reported. Conclusion: This case provides a reference for the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib in a pediatric patient with AD who developed secondary GPP following dupilumab therapy. Upadacitinib may represent a valuable therapeutic option for dupilumab-associated paradoxical psoriasis (including GPP) in AD patients. Prospective studies are needed to establish its long-term safety and efficacy in this patient population.
