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

backgroundPsoriasis is associated with cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome but the effects of interleukin (IL)-17A inhibitor treatment on metabolic parameters are unknown. This study aimed to determine the effects of secukinumab on metabolic parameters based on the disease activity and treatment response in patients with psoriasis.

methodsIn this retrospective study, we included 99 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, who received IL-17 inhibitor (secukinumab) treatment for 24 weeks between January 2016 and February 2020. The disease activity [Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)] and metabolic parameters at baseline and after 12 or 24 weeks of treatment were collected.

resultsThe PASI improved with a significant reduction of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) at weeks 12 and 24 respectively. However, body weight and body mass index were significantly increased at week 12 and 24 of treatment. Triglycerides level and atherogenic index of plasma were significantly higher in week 24 in PASI-90 non-responders. The baseline hs-CRP level and PASI-90 non-response correlated with elevated triglyceride levels.

conclusionOur results suggest that obesity and hypertriglyceridemia still existed in patients despite the improved disease activity after secukinumab treatment. Higher baseline hs-CRP level and PASI-90 non-response were predictors for elevated triglyceride levels after treatment. Therefore, patient education, regular screening of the lipid profile, and weight control are recommended during the treatment of secukinumab.
