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

Risankizumab has been recently approved for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis; however, real-life studies are scarce. Analysis of possible predictor factors of treatment response are limited to body mass index (BMI) and previous biologic experience. Our objectives were to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Risankizumab and to investigate on possible predictor factors response. We retrospectively analyzed 166 patients from two centers in Italy who undergone Risankizumab for psoriasis. The proportion of patients achieving a 100%, 90%, 75% of improvement in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) and PASI <3 were collected at weeks 16, 28, 40, and 52. Study population was analyzed in subgroups to investigate possible predictors of response to Risankizumab since week 40. At the time of analysis 165, 103, 30, and 11 patients had completed 16, 28, 40, and 52 weeks of treatment, respectively. The mean PASI score decreased from 12.5 ± 5.1 at baseline to 1.9 ± 2.4 at week 16. Similar reductions were observed when considering PASI <3, PASI 75, PASI 90, and PASI 100. Previous biologics failure, different smoking habits, obesity, and joint involvement resulted in a lower response to risankizumab. In particular, significant differences in mean PASI at any time-points was observed between psoriatic arthritis (PSA) and non-PSA patients: 2.7 versus 1.7 (p = 0.036), 1.9 versus 0.4 (p = 0.006), and 4.1 versus 0.5 (p = 0.016) at 16, 28, and 40 weeks, respectively. No difference in response to risankizumab occurred in the case of involvement of difficult-to-treat areas. In this population, Risankizumab was effective and safe. Smoking habits, joint involvement, obese status, and previous biologic experience may negatively affect treatment response, while difficult body sites involvement have minor impact.
