Effects of TNF-α inhibition
Article in Therapeutic advances in musculoskeletal disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Enthesitis is a hallmark of psoriatic disease, but its clinical assessment is problematic in terms of diagnostic sensitivity and overlap with other comorbid conditions. Ultrasound is a useful tool that can give a more detailed assessment of enthesitis. Research demonstrates that those with persistent ultrasound entheseal disease are at risk of progressive articular damage. With limited data to guide choice between biologic therapy for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients, we wanted to assess the response of ultrasound-confirmed enthesitis to different forms of biologic therapies and study its utility in making more informed decisions. Methods: This was an open label observational study including patients aged ⩾18 years, who fulfil the classification criteria for PSA (CASPAR) and were due to commence on their first biologic therapy. The primary outcome was the change in MAdrid Sonographic Enthesitis Index (MASEI) score at 16 weeks of treatment. The MASEI score was also modified to assess the active elementary lesions (ActiveMASEI). Results: In all, 80 PsA patients were enrolled with 75 patients completing the study [secukinumab Conclusions: We have for the first time compared the effect of ultrasound-confirmed enthesitis between different forms of biologic therapies for PsA. We have seen an overall improvement in entheseal scores for both classes of medications and demonstrated a larger reduction in active entheseal disease for TNFi
