Development of a web-based decision aid for initiating biological or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) in axial spondyloarthritis.
Article in RMD open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesTo develop a web-based evidence-based decision aid to support shared decision-making in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) who face a treatment decision to initiate or switch a biological or targeted synthetic disease modifying antirheumatic drug (b/tsDMARDs).
methodsThrough an iterative process, we systematically developed a decision aid based on evidence from the literature, explorative needs assessment interviews among patients and care providers, and input from experts of the SpA working group of the Dutch Society for Rheumatology and professionals on patient information employed at the Dutch Arthritis Society. The usability, ease of use and feasibility of the pilot version were tested among stakeholders and feedback was used to adapt the decision aid. Finally, a multifaceted strategy was used to introduce the decision aid in clinical practice.
resultsThe decision aid consists of (1) consultation support instructions in the context of disease control and treatment needs, (2) an overview of available treatment options for axSpA, (3) detailed information on b/tsDMARDs and an interactive option grid that facilitates comparison of characteristics and (4) a final check supporting patients to deliberate on the decision to initiate or switch a b/tsDMARD. Rheumatologists introduced the decision aid in several Dutch rheumatology settings and the Dutch Arthritis Society posted it on their website, social media and in their monthly newsletter.
conclusionWe developed an evidence-based decision aid to support axSpA patients who face a treatment decision to initiate or switch a b/tsDMARD and introduced this in clinical practice.
