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

Tildrakizumab, an IL-23 inhibitor, is effective and safe for the improvement of moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis. However, little evidence is available on the use of this biologic in psoriasis in difficult-to-treat locations. In this retrospective analysis, we treated patients with 100 mg tildrakizumab at Day 0, after 4 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter. Disease severity and treatment response was assessed by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), the static Physician's Global Assessment of Genitalia (sPGA-G), the Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index (PSSI), Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) and the Palmoplantar Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (ppPASI) at baseline and after 4, 12 and 28 weeks. We followed 18 patients (mean age 49.1 ± 12.7 years, 61.1% male) with psoriasis localized to the genital region (N = 7), scalp (N = 6), nails (N = 5) and palmar/plantar areas (N = 7). PASI score decreased from 11.5 at baseline to 3.1 and 2.4 at 12 and 28 weeks. Tildrakizumab treatment decreased sPGA-G (3.3 to 0.2), PSSI (36.2 to 2.7), NAPSI (48.4 to 15.7) and ppPASI (5.3 to 0) from baseline to 28 weeks, respectively. Data from this real-life retrospective analysis shows that tildrakizumab is an effective option for the management of psoriasis in difficult-to-treat areas.
