Magnetic resonance imaging characteristics in patients with psoriatic arthritis and axial manifestations from the MAXIMISE cohort.
Article in Rheumatology (Oxford, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02721966 (MAXIMISE), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
MAXIMISE (Managing AXIal Manifestations in PsorIatic Arthritis With SEcukinumab), a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter, 52-week Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Secukinumab 150 mg or 300 mg s.c. in Participants With Active Psoriatic Arthritis and Axial Skeleton Involvement Who Have Inadequate Response to Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

Abstract
objectiveThe current analysis of the MAXIMISE trial was conducted to investigate the presence of post-inflammatory and degenerative spinal changes and inflammatory changes in spinal processes identified in baseline MRIs and their potential for predicting differential treatment effects in a cohort of PsA patients with axial manifestations.
methodsBaseline spinal MRIs from the MAXIMISE trial were re-read to identify additional inflammatory (spinal process), post-inflammatory, and degenerative changes, and investigate the differential treatment effect of these imaging features using logistic regression modelling.
resultsIn addition to bone marrow oedema assessed at primary analysis, spinal process inflammation and post-inflammatory changes evaluated by FAt Spondyloarthritis Spine Score were documented in 11.1% and 20.2% patients, respectively. At least one type of degenerative change was noted in 64% patients, with Pfirrmann grade ≥3 (51.1%) being the most common. Combining primary and re-read MRI findings, 67.1% of patients presented with inflammatory or post-inflammatory changes while 21.2% had degenerative changes alone. Although not statistically significant, post-inflammatory changes were associated with a trend for better efficacy outcomes in terms of ASAS20, ASAS40 and BASDAI50 responses; a trend for worse outcomes was observed in the presence of degenerative changes.
conclusionThe current analysis revealed the occurrence of additional inflammatory and post-inflammatory changes suggestive of axial PsA (axPsA) and a trend for better clinical outcomes for patients treated with secukinumab. These results elucidate the imaging characteristics and improve our current understanding of axPsA thereby supporting the interpretation of future trials.
