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

Whether response to an interleukin (IL-17) inhibitor is different in patients with previous exposure to an IL-17 inhibitor compared with patients with exposure to biologics with other cytokine targets remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to  assess whether previous exposure to an IL-17A inhibitor was associated with worse response than exposure to (an)other biologic(s). All patients in the DERMBIO register treated with an IL-17A inhibitor (secukinumab or ixekizumab) were included. With an absolute Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≤ 2 as response, the proportion of responders treated with IL-17A inhibitors was assessed in patients previously treated with another IL-17A inhibitor and compared with patients with previous exposure to (an)other biologic(s), using a χ2 test. In total, 100, 93 and 83 patients with  previous exposure to an IL-17A inhibitor and 414, 372 and 314 patients with previous exposure to (an) other biologic(s) were assessed after 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively. No differences in the proportion of  patients achieving PASI ≤ 2 were observed between the 2 groups after 3 months (54% vs 57%, p = 0.59), 6months (70% vs 66%, p = 0.42) and 12 months (69% vs 60%, p = 0.14). In conclusion, when treating patients with IL-17A inhibitors the cytokine target of the previous biologic does not appear to affect the  response.
