Delayed treatment with a tumor necrosis factor alpha blocker associated with worse outcomes in patients with spondyloarthritis: data from the Czech National Registry ATTRA.
Article in Therapeutic advances in musculoskeletal disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: The administration of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors, is observed to interfere with the disease activity and progression. In this study, we aimed to assess the effectiveness and response predictors of adalimumab (ADA), a TNF-α blocker, in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA). Methods: This study was a historical prospective, registry-based observational study on patients with AxSpA treated with first-line ADA after conventional drug failure. For evaluation and comparison, patients were divided into three groups according to the number of years from AxSpA diagnosis to initiation of ADA treatment: (A) <5 years, (B) 5-10 years, and (C) >10 years. The assessment instruments ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score (ASDAS), Bath ankylosing spondylitis activity index (BASDAI), Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI), health assessment questionnaire (HAQ), Short Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36), and EuroQoL 5 dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D) were regularly administered for up to 24 months of follow-up. Results: This study included 1043 patients with AxSpA (9.2% with non-radiographic AxSpA, 68.9% men). By month 6, a significantly higher proportion of patients with ASDAS remission (<1.3) was achieved upon earlier intervention in group A (30.1%) and B (32.9%) than in the late intervention group C (22.6%) ( Conclusion: Results from the ATTRA registry concur with previous clinical trials that supported efficacy of TNF-α blockers and showed better treatment outcomes with early interventions, including reduction of disease activity and improvement in PROs. We identified age and BASFI as the main factors influencing treatment effectiveness.
