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

backgroundBiologics are often required for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). However, data on the drug survival of biologics in daily practice are currently lacking.

objectivesTo assess the drug survival of antitumour necrosis factor biologics in a daily practice cohort of patients with HS and to identify predictors for drug survival.

methodsA retrospective multicentre study was performed in two academic dermatology centres in the Netherlands. Adult patients with HS using biologics between 2008 and 2020 were included. Drug survival was analysed with Kaplan-Meier survival curves and predictors of survival with univariate Cox regression analysis.

resultsThe overall drug survival of adalimumab (n = 104) at 12 and 24 months was 56·3% and 30·5%, respectively, which was predominantly determined by infectiveness. Older age (P = 0·02) and longer disease duration (P < 0·01) were associated with longer survival time. For infliximab (n = 44), overall drug survival was 58·3% and 48·6% at 12 and 24 months, respectively, and was predominantly determined by infectiveness and side-effects. Surgery during treatment was associated with a longer survival time (P = 0·01).

conclusionsSurvival rates were comparable for adalimumab and infliximab at 12 months, and were mainly determined by ineffectiveness. Age, disease duration (adalimumab) and surgery (infliximab) are predictors for longer survival.
