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

introductionThe study aimed to assess the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of long-term therapy with biosimilar of eculizumab (Elizaria®) in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) patients.

methodsThe study included 30 patients with PNH who had completed previous clinical trials. Of these, 25 patients continued receiving the biosimilar product, and 5 patients switched from the originator product Soliris. The maximum duration of follow-up was 104 weeks, during which the investigational product was administered 52 times at a standard dose.

resultsThroughout the study, the levels of lactate dehydrogenase, hemoglobin, reticulocytes, and PNH clone remained stable compared to baseline, regardless of the previous therapy (p > 0.05). There were no significant differences in the number of patients with chronic kidney disease at different visits, as well as in the number of patients who received donor red blood cell and platelet transfusions during the study (p > 0.05). There were 2 cases of adverse reactions reported in 2 patients (6.6%): elevated aspartate aminotransferase (3.3%) and alopecia (3.3%). Immunogenicity analysis showed no significant differences in the frequency of antidrug antibody detection compared to baseline (p > 0.05).

conclusionThe study findings confirm the long-term efficacy and safety of biosimilar in patients with PNH.
