Real-world data on change in work productivity, activity impairment, and quality of life in patients with psoriatic arthritis under anti-TNF therapy: a postmarketing, noninterventional, observational study.
Observational study in Clinical rheumatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02028169 (To Observe the Impacts of Anti-TNF's Effectiveness on Improvement in Work Place and Household Productivity for Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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.

Abstract
objectivesTo understand change in work productivity, activity impairment, quality of life (QoL), and disease activity in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) treatment.
methodOne hundred twenty patients with PsA receiving anti-TNF therapy were recruited to this noninterventional, observational study. Work disability was assessed via the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire and disease activity was calculated via the 28-joint Disease Activity Score using C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) and Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis with 28 joints (DAPSA28) score. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs), from visual analog scores and Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index scores, were evaluated to understand the clinical effectiveness at baseline and every 3 months until the month-9 final visit. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR)20/50/70 response criteria were assessed at month 9.
resultsA total of 120 patients (females, n = 73) were enrolled in the study. Mean (SD) age and disease duration were 41.6 ± 11.1 years and 6.9 ± 6.5 years, respectively. The most commonly used TNFα inhibitor was adalimumab (42.4%), followed by etanercept (25.8%). All WPAI questionnaire parameters were reduced at the follow-up visits compared with baseline (p < 0.001 for all). PROs and disease activity indicators (DAS28-CRP and DAPSA28) significantly improved during the course of anti-TNF treatments (p < 0.001 for all). Additionally, ACR20/50/70 responses were determined as 86.8%, 63.7%, and 41.8% of patients at the month-9 visit.
conclusionsThe real-world data in PsA patients receiving anti-TNF treatment showed improvement in WPAI, QoL, and disease activity over 9 months of treatment.
trial registrationNCT02028169 Key Points • Psoriatic arthritis (PsA), with debilitating effects on quality of life, occurs mostly in young adults and has negative impacts on employment status and work productivity. • Early PsA diagnosis and treat-to-target treatment strategies aim to reduce pain and joint damage, as well as improve work productivity. • Real-world data on the impact of treatment with anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents on work productivity in PsA in the literature is scarce. • Our study of real-world data in patients with PsA receiving anti-TNF treatment showed improvement in work productivity, as well as in clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
