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

backgroundBrodalumab is efficacious for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis through 52 weeks.

objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of brodalumab through 120 weeks, including following withdrawal and retreatment.

methodsAt baseline, patients were randomized to brodalumab (n = 222) or placebo (n = 220). At week 12, patients achieving a static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) score of 0 or 1 (sPGA 0/1) with brodalumab were rerandomized to brodalumab (n = 83) or placebo (n = 84; later re-treated with brodalumab if sPGA ≥ 3 occurred), and patients receiving placebo switched to brodalumab (n = 208). Safety was assessed by exposure-adjusted rates of treatment-emergent adverse events.

resultsAmong those who achieved sPGA 0/1 at week 12 and were rerandomized to brodalumab, 96% and 80% using observed data, respectively, and 74% and 61% using nonresponder imputation, respectively, achieved 75% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) and PASI 100 at week 120. Following withdrawal from brodalumab, return of disease occurred after a mean ± SD duration of 74·7 ± 50·5 days. Among those who switched from brodalumab to placebo at week 12, PASI 75 rates using observed data and nonresponder imputation were 55% and 51% at week 20, respectively and 94% and 75% at week 120, respectively; PASI 100 rates at week 120 were 75% and 60%, respectively. Efficacy was maintained through week 120 in those receiving brodalumab after placebo. No new safety signals were observed.

conclusionsThese findings indicate that brodalumab is efficacious and safe for continuous long-term treatment of psoriasis, and support the potential for response after discontinuation and retreatment.
