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

Tildrakizumab is a humanised IgG1/k-type monoclonal antibody that targets the p19 protein subunit of IL23. Despite its effectiveness and safety have been widely reported by clinical trials and real-life experiences, data regarding its use on patients who previously failed anti-IL17 (brodalumab, ixekizumab, bimekizumab and/or secukinumab) are scant. Therefore, further studies on this topic would be beneficial for clinicians in guiding the selection of biologic shifting, considering that anti-IL23, -12/23, and -IL17 partially share their therapeutic targets. In this context, we performed a 28-week, single-center, real-life, retrospective study, with the aim of assessing the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab in patients who previously failed anti-IL17, also focusing the attention on psoriasis located in difficult-to-treat areas (scalp, palms or soles, fingernails, genitals). A total of 23 patients (12 male, 52.2%; mean age 52.8 ± 12.4 years) were enrolled. Of these, 11 (47.8%) failed secukinumab, 7 (30.4%) ixekizumab, 3 (13.0%) brodalumab, 1 (4.3%) both secukinumab and ixekizumab and 1 (4.3%) bimekizumab. At baseline, mean PASI and BSA were 12.8 ± 5.9 and 18.7 ± 9.6, respectively. At W16 PASI75 and PASI90 response were achieved by 15 (65.2%), and 9 (39.1%) patients, respectively, whereas 19 (82.6%) and 13 (56.6%) subjects reached these scores at W28. One (4.3%) case of primary inefficacy and 1 (4.3%) case of secondary inefficacy were assessed. Finally, no severe adverse events were collected. Tildrakizumab seems to be a valuable option in selected patients with psoriasis unresponsive to anti-IL17, suggesting that prior exposure to biological therapies seem not directly affect its effectiveness.
