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

introductionTuroctocog alfa (NovoEight

aimTo investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa in routine clinical practice.

methodsGuardian 5 was a prospective, multinational, non-interventional, post-authorisation safety study. Male previously treated patients (> 150 exposure days [EDs]) of any age with severe/moderately severe haemophilia A (FVIII ≤ 2%) and a negative inhibitor test prior to first dosing (independent of FVIII-inhibitor history) were included to receive prophylaxis or on-demand treatment. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients developing FVIII inhibitors (≥.6 Bethesda Units [BU]) after baseline visit, measured as per routine practice of each study site during clinic visits. Secondary endpoints included haemostatic effect, annualised bleeding rate (ABR), and adverse reactions assessment. The study concluded when 50 patients reached 100 EDs/patient minimum.

resultsSeventy patients were screened and 68 exposed to turoctocog alfa; 63 (92.6%) were on prophylaxis and five received on-demand treatment. Six (8.8%) patients reported a history of positive inhibitors. During the study, patients were exposed to turoctocog alfa for a mean (standard deviation) of 131.9 (99.0) days/patient. Fifty-five of 58 patients who completed the study were tested for FVIII inhibitors; no positive tests were reported. Overall success rate of turoctocog alfa for treatment of bleeds was 87.3%. Among patients receiving prophylaxis, median (range) ABR was 1.97 (.0-25.5) bleeds/year; estimated ABR (negative binomial model) was 3.65 (95% confidence interval: 2.53-5.25).

conclusionTuroctocog alfa was safe and efficacious for haemophilia A treatment in routine clinical practice.
