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: Nonacog beta pegol (N9-GP) is an extended half-life PEGylated factor (F)IX product with established efficacy and short-term safety in persons with hemophilia B (HB). Long-term safety has been evaluated for polyethylene glycol exposure but not N9-GP. Objectives: To assess safety, neurodevelopmental, and efficacy outcomes of children with HB receiving N9-GP prophylaxis across 2 open-label, single-arm, phase 3 studies: paradigm5 (previously treated patients [PTPs]) and paradigm6 (previously untreated patients [PUPs]) in this interim analysis. Methods: PTPs (aged ≤12 years) and PUPs (aged <6 years) with severe/moderate (≤2% FIX level) HB were recruited to N9-GP prophylaxis (40 IU/kg once weekly) in paradigm5 and paradigm6, respectively. Safety assessments included FIX inhibitor incidence, adverse events, neurocognitive and neurologic outcomes, polyethylene glycol concentration in plasma, and medical events of special interest. Efficacy endpoints included bleeds, N9-GP hemostatic effect, and FIX consumption. Results: Overall, 25 patients in paradigm5 and 50 patients in paradigm6 received N9-GP and were followed for up to 8 and 6 years, respectively. No inhibitory antibodies were reported in PTPs; 4 of the 50 PUPs developed inhibitors. Extensive evaluation revealed no neurocognitive or neurologic concerns with N9-GP use in children during the study period. Across both studies, few adverse events were reported as possibly related to N9-GP. High hemostatic response rate, high treatment adherence, low annualized bleeding rates, and no new target joints were reported. Conclusion: These data provide the longest follow-up for an extended half-life FIX and confirm the long-term efficacy of N9-GP prophylaxis in children with HB with no observed neurocognitive or neurologic safety concerns.
