Implementation of the OMERACT Psoriatic Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scoring System in a randomized phase IIb study of abatacept in psoriatic arthritis.
Trial report in Rheumatology (Oxford, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00534313 (A Phase IIB, Multi-Dose, Multi-center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Abatacept Versus Placebo in the Treatment of Psoriatic Arthritis), which is not on this map.

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 investigate if the OMERACT PsA MRI Scoring System (PsAMRIS), including a novel total inflammation score, shows sensitivity to change with an agent (abatacept) known to impact clinical outcomes in PsA.
methodsWe performed a post hoc analysis of a randomized phase IIb study of abatacept in patients with PsA and inadequate DMARD response. Participants received one of three abatacept dosing regimens [ABA3, ABA10 or ABA30/10 mg/kg (30 mg/kg switched to 10 mg/kg after two doses)] or placebo until day 169, then ABA10 through day 365. MRIs at baseline and days 85, 169 and 365 were centrally evaluated by two readers blinded to chronological order and treatment arm. Synovitis, osteitis, tenosynovitis, periarticular inflammation, bone erosions, joint space narrowing and bone proliferation were assessed using the PsAMRIS. A novel total inflammation score was tested.
resultsMRIs for 123 patients were included. On day 169, ABA10 and ABA30/10 significantly reduced MRI synovitis and tenosynovitis, respectively, vs placebo [differences -0.966 (P = 0.039) and -1.652 (P = 0.014), respectively]. Synovitis in the placebo group increased non-significantly from baseline to day 169, total inflammation and tenosynovitis decreased non-significantly and all measures improved significantly after a switch to ABA10 [-1.019, -0.940, -2.275 (P < 0.05), respectively, day 365 vs day 169]. Structural outcomes changed minimally across groups.
conclusionAdults with PsA receiving ABA10 and ABA30/10 demonstrated significant resolution of inflammatory components of disease, confirmed by MRI, with synovitis and tenosynovitis improvements consistent with previously reported clinical responses for these doses. Results indicate that a reduction in OMERACT PsAMRIS inflammation scores may provide proof of tissue-level efficacy in PsA clinical trials.
