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

Disease status is often measured with bounded outcome scores (BOS) which report a discrete set of values on a finite range. The distribution of such data is often non-standard, such as J- or U-shaped, for which standard analysis methods assuming normal distribution become inappropriate. Most BOS analysis methods aim to either predict the data within its natural range or accommodate data skewness, but not both. In addition, a frequent modeling objective is to predict clinical response of treatment using derived disease endpoints, defined as meeting certain criteria of improvement from baseline in disease status. This objective has not yet been addressed in existing BOS data analyses. This manuscript compares a recently proposed beta distribution-based approach with the standard continuous analysis approach, using an established mechanism-based longitudinal exposure-response model to analyze data from two phase 3 clinical studies in psoriatic patients. The beta distribution-based approach is shown to be superior in describing the BOS data and in predicting the derived endpoints, along with predicting the response time course of a highly sensitive subpopulation.
