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

introductionPatients with psoriasis (PSO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) may frequently switch biologic therapies over the course of treatment because of symptom variability and individual responses. Real-world studies analyzing patient characteristics and clinical factors associated with biologic switching are limited.

methodsThis longitudinal cohort study used real-world data from the CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry to evaluate the relationship between associated disease factors and biologic switching among patients with PSO and PsA in the United States (US) and Canada following initiation of a biologic. Patients were evaluated between April 2015-August 2022. Combinations of disease severity (as measured by Psoriasis Area Severity Index [PASI]) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) as a measure of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were assessed, and the association with time to switching was calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression modeling.

resultsAmong 2580 patient-initiations (instances of patients initiating a biologic), 504 (19.5%) switched biologics within 30 months of initiation. Switching was more frequent when either PASI > 10 or DLQI > 5 compared with PASI ≤ 10 or DLQI ≤ 5 at follow-up. Patients with higher skin involvement (PASI > 10) and impact on HRQoL (DLQI > 5) were 14 times more likely to switch (hazard ratio = 14.2, 95% confidence interval: 10.7, 18.9) than those with lower skin involvement (PASI ≤ 10) and HRQoL (DLQI ≤ 5).

conclusionsPatients with PSO and PsA treated in a real-world dermatology setting with substantial disease factors following biologic initiation were more likely to switch therapies. Those with PASI > 10 and DLQI > 5 switched more frequently than those with PASI ≤ 10 and DLQI ≤ 5.
