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

The treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has always been a real challenge for dermatologists; to date, the only biologic drugs approved for HS are adalimumab, an anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α drug, authorized in 2015, and secukinumab, recently licensed. The management of this condition is challenging as the available treatments show variable results, and the course of the condition is often chronic-recurrent; therefore, it will be necessary for the future to identify new therapeutic targets for HS. In recent years, studies have focused on the development towards new therapeutic targets. The purpose of our review was to perform a comprehensive literature review of real-life data on anti-IL23 (guselkumab, tildrakizumab, and risankizumab) in HS to summarize the existing evidence on the efficacy and safety of these drugs. We selected 64 articles, among which 32 had the characteristics that we were looking for in our review. To date, the positive data expressed in real-life experiences contrast with the three existing Phase 2 studies conducted so far, where it seems that these drugs may be useful only for a subgroup of patients with HS whose features need to be elucidated. Data from Phase 3 studies and other real-life experiences, perhaps more detailed and with higher numbers, will certainly be needed to fully understand the efficacy and safety of this class of drugs.
