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.

Abstract

PUPs A-LONG evaluated the safety and efficacy of recombinant factor VIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with hemophilia A. This open-label, phase 3 study enrolled male PUPs (<6 years) with severe hemophilia A to receive rFVIIIFc. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of inhibitor development. Secondary endpoints included annualized bleed rate (ABR). Of 103 subjects receiving ≥1 dose of rFVIIIFc, 80 (78%) were aged <1 year at the study start, 20 (19%) had a family history of inhibitors, and 82 (80%) had high-risk F8 mutations. Twenty subjects began on prophylaxis, while 81 began an on-demand regimen (69 later switched to prophylaxis). Eighty-seven (81%) subjects completed the study. Inhibitor incidence was 31.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 21.8% to 41.7%) in subjects with ≥10 exposure days (or inhibitor); high-titer inhibitor incidence was 15.6% (95% CI, 8.8% to 24.7%). The median (range) time to high-titer inhibitor development was 9 (4-14) exposure days. Twenty-eight (27%) subjects experienced 32 rFVIIIFc treatment-related adverse events; most were inhibitor development. There was 1 nontreatment-related death due to intracranial hemorrhage (onset before the first rFVIIIFc dose). The overall median (interquartile range [IQR]) ABR was 1.49 (0.00-4.40) for subjects on variable prophylaxis dosing regimens. In this study of rFVIIIFc in pediatric PUPs with severe hemophilia A, overall inhibitor development was within the expected range, although high-titer inhibitor development was on the low end of the range reported in the literature. rFVIIIFc was well-tolerated and effective for prophylaxis and treatment of bleeds. This trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02234323).
