Enthesitis and Dactylitis Resolution with Risankizumab for Active Psoriatic Arthritis: Integrated Analysis of the Randomized KEEPsAKE 1 and 2 Trials.

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.

Abstract
introductionThe presence (vs absence) of enthesitis/dactylitis is associated with greater psoriatic arthritis (PsA) activity and reduced health-related quality of life. Risankizumab, an interleukin 23 antagonist, demonstrated superior treatment efficacy over placebo in patients with PsA, including enthesitis/dactylitis. Herein, we report the efficacy of risankizumab on complete resolution of enthesitis and/or dactylitis and improvements in patient-reported outcomes in patients with PsA.
methodsThis integrated post hoc analysis of data from KEEPsAKE 1 and KEEPsAKE 2 included patients with baseline enthesitis (Leeds Enthesitis Index > 0) and/or dactylitis (Leeds Dactylitis Index > 0). Efficacy outcomes at weeks 24 and 52 included proportion of patients achieving enthesitis and/or dactylitis resolution and minimal clinically important differences (MCID) in pain, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index, and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue.
resultsOf 1407 patients, approximately 63%, 28%, and 20% had baseline enthesitis, dactylitis, and both enthesitis/dactylitis, respectively. At week 24, higher response rates were observed for risankizumab vs placebo for resolution of enthesitis, dactylitis, and both enthesitis/dactylitis (differences of 13.9%, 16.9%, and 13.3%, respectively; p < 0.05). By week 52, risankizumab treatment resulted in complete resolution of enthesitis, dactylitis, and both enthesitis and dactylitis in 55.0%, 76.1%, and 52.3% of patients; similar resolution rates occurred among patients who switched from placebo to risankizumab. Among risankizumab-treated patients who achieved resolution of enthesitis and/or dactylitis, MCIDs were also attained in patient-reported pain, disability, and fatigue at week 24 (all p < 0.05; except fatigue in patients with resolution of both enthesitis/dactylitis); responses were sustained through week 52.
conclusionsHigher proportions of risankizumab-treated (vs placebo-treated) patients achieved enthesitis and/or dactylitis resolution and meaningful improvements in patient-reported outcomes at week 24 and generally sustained responses at week 52. Thus, risankizumab may result in sustained alleviation of PsA-related pathognomonic musculoskeletal lesions of enthesitis/dactylitis. CLINICALTRIALS: GOV IDENTIFIERS: NCT03675308, and NCT03671148.
