Low uveitis rates in patients with axial spondyloarthritis treated with bimekizumab: pooled results from phase 2b/3 trials.
Article in Annals of the rheumatic diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 5 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
objectivesAcute anterior uveitis ('uveitis') is a common axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) extramusculoskeletal manifestation. Interleukin (IL)-17 is implicated in its pathogenesis, however, there is conflicting evidence for IL-17A inhibition in uveitis management. We report pooled analyses of uveitis incidence in patients receiving bimekizumab (BKZ), a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits IL-17F in addition to IL-17A, from phase 2b/3 trials.
methodsData were pooled for patients receiving BKZ 160 mg or placebo in the double-blind treatment period of the phase 3 BE MOBILE 1 (NCT03928704; non-radiographic axSpA) and BE MOBILE 2 (NCT03928743; radiographic axSpA) trials. Data were separately pooled for patients treated with at least one BKZ dose in the BE MOBILE trials and their ongoing open-label extension (OLE; NCT04436640), and the phase 2b BE AGILE trial (NCT02963506; radiographic axSpA) and its ongoing OLE (NCT03355573). Uveitis rates and exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIR)/100 patient-years (PYs) are reported.
resultsIn the BE MOBILE 1 and 2 double-blind treatment period, 0.6% (2/349) of patients receiving BKZ experienced uveitis vs 4.6% (11/237) receiving placebo (nominal p=0.001; EAIR (95% CI): 1.8/100 PYs (0.2 to 6.7) vs 15.4/100 PYs (95% CI 7.7 to 27.5)). In patients with history of uveitis, EAIR was lower in patients receiving BKZ (6.2/100 PYs (95% CI 0.2 to 34.8); 1.9%) vs placebo (70.4/100 PYs (95% CI 32.2 to 133.7); 20.0%; nominal p=0.004). In the phase 2b/3 pool (N=848; BKZ exposure: 2034.4 PYs), EAIR remained low (1.2/100 PYs (95% CI 0.8 to 1.8)).
conclusionsBimekizumab, a dual-IL-17A/F inhibitor, may confer protective effects for uveitis in patients with axSpA.
