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

Background: With no approved long-term prophylaxis (LTP) for the prevention of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks in Hong Kong, patients rely on compassionate use programs and drug trials. Moreover, studies regarding the use and efficacy of LTP in Asia are lacking. Objectives: Our aim was to assess 2 LTP medications for HAE in Hong Kong: lanadelumab and garadacimab. Methods: A prospective study was performed. Adult patients with a diagnosis of type I or type II HAE with 1 or more expert-confirmed attacks per month were consecutively recruited. The patients had been receiving treatment for at least 6 months. Clinical data were obtained, and questionnaires were administered before treatment periodically for at least 6 months following initiation of LTP. Results: Almost one-third of the patients with HAE experienced frequent attacks and began receiving LTP (8 of the 11 received garadacimab and 3 of the 11 received lanadelumab). At baseline, the time-normalized number of HAE attacks was 2.5 plus or minus 1.3 per month. At month 6, there was an overall reduction of time-normalized number of attacks per month of -2.4 attacks per month (95% CI = -3.3 to -1.5. [ Conclusion: The patients receiving LTP with garadacimab and lanadelumab experienced a significant reduction in number of HAE attacks and improvement in quality of life, and they were satisfied with treatment.
