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

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) describes a group of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases primarily involving the axial skeleton. IL-17 is involved in the pathogenesis of numerous inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory arthritis. Until a few years ago, the only biological agents licensed for the treatment of axSpA and nr-axSpA were TNF inhibitors. However, as some patients did not respond to TNF inhibition or experienced secondary failure, the introduction of the first two IL-17 inhibitors (secukinumab [SEC] and ixekizumab [IXE]) has extended the treatment options, and there are now three others (bimekizumab, brodalumab and netakimab) in various stages of clinical development. The last ten years have seen the development of a number of therapeutic recommendations that aimed at improving the management of axSpA patients. The aim of this narrative review of the published literature concerning the role of IL-17 in the pathogenesis of SpA, and the role of IL-17 inhibitors in the treatment of axSpA, is to provide a comprehensive picture of the clinical efficacy and safety of the drugs themselves, and the treatment strategies recommended in the international guidelines.
