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

Introduction: Guselkumab safety and efficacy profiles in psoriasis have been showed by VOYAGE (1 and 2) trials. Although trial results have been already previously confirmed by real-life studies, long-term real-life data, and drug survival data about guselkumab are still poor. Patients and Methods: We performed a 3-year retrospective study, with the aim of assessing guselkumab efficacy and safety profile in the management of plaque psoriasis in a real-life setting. Results: Thirty-one patients completed the study. Both Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) and Body Surface Area (BSA) statistically improved since week 16, and up to week 144 [PASI reduction from 16.4 ± 6.2 to 0.6 ± 0.9 (p < 0.0001) at week 144 while BSA from 33.2 ± 14.6 to 1.9 ± 1.4 (p < 0.0001)]. At week 12 PASI90 and PASI100 were achieved by 19 (61.3%) and 11 (35.4%) patients, respectively, as well as 24 (77.4%) and 18 (58.1%) subjects reached PASI 90 and PASI 100 at week 144. As regards the safety, no cases of injection site reaction, candida, serious AEs, malignancy, or major cardiovascular events were reported. Of note, mild AEs were collected with pharyngitis as the main one (7, 22.6%), followed by headache (5, 16.1%) and flu-like illness (5, 16.1%), all without requiring treatment discontinuation. Conclusion: Our experience confirmed the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in daily clinical practice up to 3 years, suggesting this drug as an effective treatment option in psoriasis long-term management.
