Comparison of Real-World Costs, Healthcare Resource Utilization, and Comorbidity-Related Costs Between Ixekizumab and Secukinumab Among Biologic-Experienced Patients with Psoriasis Over 18 Months in the USA.
Article in Clinical drug investigation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 AND
objectiveData on real-world healthcare costs for ixekizumab (IXE) and secukinumab (SEC) in biologic-experienced patients with psoriasis are limited. This study compared real-world costs and healthcare resource utilization between IXE and SEC in biologic-experienced patients with psoriasis over an 18-month follow-up period in the USA.
methodsAdult patients with a diagnosis of psoriasis between 1 March, 2015 and 31 October, 2019 were identified using health insurance claims data from IBM Watson Health MarketScan
resultsA total of 411 IXE and 780 SEC users were included. After weighting, all-cause inpatient admissions were similar between IXE (9.5%) and SEC users (10.3%). Weighted, mean ± standard deviation per patient per month all-cause healthcare costs were higher in IXE users ($6670 ± $2910) than in SEC users ($6239 ± $3903; p = 0.049). Psoriasis-related and monthly index drug costs were higher in IXE users ($5609 ± $2009; p < 0.001 and $4688 ± $1994; p < 0.001, respectively) than in SEC users ($5095 ± $2291 and $3853 ± $1977, respectively). After Institute for Clinical and Economic Review adjustment, mean per patient per month all-cause ($4363 ± $2576 vs $4398 ± $3517) and psoriasis-related costs ($3302 ± $1264 vs $3253 ± $1504) were similar between the groups. Institute for Clinical and Economic Review- and adherence-adjusted mean per patient per month index drug costs were similar between IXE and SEC users (p = 0.339).
conclusionsInstitute for Clinical and Economic Review-adjusted all-cause and psoriasis-related costs were comparable between IXE and SEC users among biologic-experienced patients over an 18-month follow-up period.
