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

Background: A few studies on vaccination in patients with rheumatic diseases, including arthritis, connective tissue diseases, vasculitis, and psoriatic arthropathy (PsA), demonstrated reduced production of neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD (receptor-binding domain contained in the N-terminal of the S1 globular head region) when compared to the general population. Objective: The aim of our study was to observe whether different therapies for PsA [methotrexate, anti-TNF antibodies, soluble TNF receptor (etanercept) or IL-17 inhibitors] have a different impact on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in a homogeneous population of patients. Methods: We enrolled 110 PsA patients in remission, assessed with Disease Activity in PSoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA). Of these: 63 were in treatment with anti-TNF-α therapy (26 etanercept, 15 certolizumab, 5 golimumab, 17 adalimumab); 37 with anti-IL17 secukinumab; 10 with methotrexate. All patients underwent vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 with mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine. Assessment of absolute and percentage lymphocyte subsets and anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD IgG antibody value 3 weeks after the second vaccine dose were performed. In addition, the serum antibody levels of 96 healthy healthcare workers (HCW) were analyzed. Results: The mean disease activity assessed with DAPSA score was 2.96 (SD = 0.60) with no significant differences between patients under different medications ( Conclusions: As for other rheumatic diseases on immunomodulatory treatment, our data showed a reduced humoral response in PsA patients compared to the control group. However, antibody response did not significantly differ between groups treated with different medications.
