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

introductionInformation on the long-term treatment satisfaction with secukinumab for patients with plaque psoriasis in real-world settings is limited. The objective of this study was to describe real-world treatment satisfaction in patients with plaque psoriasis who initiated secukinumab using data from an electronic medical records-based dermatology database.

methodsPatients aged ≥ 18 years with plaque psoriasis in Modernizing Medicine Data Services' affiliate's database who received secukinumab 3/1/2018-1/21/2020 were included. Satisfaction with the treatment's effectiveness in clearing the skin of psoriasis was evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale during the 12-month baseline period and at 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month postindex visits for the overall population and at 6-, 12-, and 18-month postindex visits for subgroups stratified by prior biologic and systemic therapy use. Additionally, satisfaction levels were assessed among patients who were unsatisfied with treatment at baseline.

resultsOverall, 82.3% agreed that secukinumab was effective in clearing their skin at 6 months, which was maintained through 12 (81.7%), 18 (83.3%), and 24 months (81.4%). Similar results were observed in biologic-experienced/naive and systemic-experienced/naive patients. Overall mean (SD) treatment satisfaction improved from 2.49 (1.36) at baseline to 1.77 (1.06) at 6 months, with similar improvements in satisfaction scores reported at each follow-up period up through 24 months. Of the patients who were not satisfied at baseline, 77.9% reported being satisfied with their treatment at 6 months, which continued through 12 (74.4%), 18 (82.8%), and 24 months (71.4%). Patients receiving secukinumab experienced meaningful changes in percent affected body surface area and Physician Global Assessment scores that were sustained through 24 months, regardless of prior treatment experience.

conclusionsThese real-world findings highlight the high level of sustained satisfaction with secukinumab treatment for improving and maintaining skin clearance in patients with moderate-to-severe disease, regardless of prior treatment experience.
