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

objectivesTo investigate possible associations between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient-expressed preferences over anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) treatment and clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

methodsPANORAMA was a non-interventional, prospective, multicentre, cohort study of 12 months duration, in patients with moderate-to-severe RA who initiated or switched to anti-TNF treatment. After initiation of anti-TNF, patients completed a preferences questionnaire on attributes related to anti-TNF treatment. Satisfaction with treatment was assessed with the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM); compliance and persistence to treatment were recorded via a patient diary. Univariate and multivariate analyses were applied to assess correlations between patients' preferences over treatment with clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

resultsA total of 254 patients were enrolled; 66.1% (168/254) had highly active disease (DAS28-ESR > 5.1), while 65.4% (166/254) were biological-naïve. The 12-month drug-survival rate was 72.3%, while the respective rates of good EULAR response and remission (DAS28-ESR < 2.6) were 56.5% and 40.8%, respectively. By univariate analysis, fulfilment of patient preferences over treatment was associated with increased probability of remaining on therapy (p = 0.019), good EULAR response (p < 0.001) and satisfaction with treatment (p < 0.001). By multivariate analysis, fulfilment of patient preferences was the most important predictor for good EULAR response (OR 5.56, p < 0.001; finding confirmed and after propensity scoring matching), while seropositivity (HR 1.18, p = 0.047) and a high ESR (> 35 mm/h, HR 1.16, p = 0.071) predicted drug survival.

conclusionsIn anti-TNF-treated RA patients, fulfilment of treatment preferences was independently associated with a good EULAR response and correlated with drug persistence at 12 months, emphasising the importance of patient preferences in treatment outcomes. Key Points • In anti-TNF treated RA patients, fulfilment of patients' treatment preferences is associated with a good clinical response at 12 months. • A shared decision-making process can maximise treatment's outcome in anti-TNF treated patients.
