Upadacitinib to improve anxiety in patients with adalimumab-treated psoriatic arthritis: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPatients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) often suffer from anxiety disorders. While upadacitinib has shown effectiveness in reducing various disease activity indicators in active PsA, its impact on anxiety disorders in PsA patients needs further investigation.
methodsIn this 12-week randomized, open-label, controlled trial, PsA patients with coexisting anxiety were randomly assigned to either the upadacitinib group or the adalimumab group in a 1:1 ratio. The upadacitinib group received a daily dose of 15 mg, while the adalimumab group received 40 mg every 2 weeks. The primary outcome measured the change in Hospital Anxiety Self-Assessment Scale (HADS-A) total scores after the 12-week intervention. Secondary outcomes included changes in the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), the percentage of participants meeting the ACR20 criteria compared to baseline after 12 weeks, and the percentage of participants achieving a grade 0 or 1 in the psoriasis static Investigator's overall assessment (sPGA) at week 12 with an improvement of at least 2 points from baseline (sPGA 0/1). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the means of normally distributed variables between the upadacitinib and adalimumab groups. DISCUSSION: The impact of upadacitinib on anxiety in PsA patients remains uncertain. This 12-week open randomized controlled trial aims to provide insights into disease progression and underscore the importance of addressing PsA-related anxiety during treatment.
