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

introductionData about the long-term effectiveness of brodalumab could be valuable in assessing patient adherence to treatment and improving psoriasis management.

objectiveThe aim of our study was to evaluate the drug survival of brodalumab and identify any predictive factors for discontinuation.

methodsA multicenter retrospective study was conducted in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who were treated for up to 3 years. We extracted data from patient files, related to the characteristics of the patients and the disease. Drug survival analysis was descriptively analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to assess baseline patient characteristics that predicted clinical response.

resultsThe study included 90 patients. Among them, 28 (31.1%) suspended brodalumab through the observation period. At weeks 52, 104 and 156 the median PASI score were 0.0 [0.0 - 0.8], 0.0 [0.0 - 1.0] and 0.0 [0.0 - 0.0], respectively. The estimated cumulative survival rates at weeks 52 and 104 were 86.32% and 78.09%, respectively. In the multivariable survival analysis, predictor factors for overall discontinuation included body mass index (BMI) (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.03 - 1.18), baseline PASI (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02 - 1.10), and psoriatic arthritis (OR 5.05, 95% CI 0.89 - 13.50).

conclusionsBrodalumab has shown long-term effectiveness for up to 3 years. Considering baseline disease severity and patient characteristics could aid in optimizing the long-term management of psoriasis.
