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

introductionGuselkumab is approved for the treatment of both moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the USA. However, little is known about patients initiating guselkumab in a real-world setting. The objective of this study was to describe baseline characteristics among patients with plaque psoriasis who initiated guselkumab at or after enrollment in CorEvitas' Psoriasis Registry.

methodsAdult patients who initiated guselkumab in the Psoriasis Registry between July 18, 2017 and November 6, 2018 were included. Demographics, disease characteristics, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were assessed at the time of guselkumab initiation (baseline). Patients with psoriasis were stratified according to the number of previously received biologics (0 to 4+) for comparison. A subset of patients with psoriasis and concomitant dermatologist-diagnosed PsA were stratified into biologic-naïve and biologic-experienced groups.

resultsAmong 687 patients with psoriasis who initiated guselkumab, biologic-naïve patients and those with four or more prior biologics had the most severe disease and the worst PROM scores at baseline. Among 251 patients with concomitant dermatologist-diagnosed PsA, biologic-naïve patients had more severe disease and worse PROM scores than biologic-experienced patients.

conclusionsThese findings highlight important differences in baseline characteristics according to biologic experience among patients with plaque psoriasis with or without concomitant PsA initiating guselkumab in a real-world setting.
