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

objectiveTo assess the development of extramusculoskeletal manifestations (EMMs) among patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) treated with upadacitinib 15 mg.

methodsData (cutoff: August 15, 2022) from five clinical trials in PsA (2), radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA; previously ankylosing spondylitis) (2), and nonradiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) (1) were analyzed. Treatment-emergent adverse events of EMMs including uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and psoriasis were assessed in patients treated with placebo, upadacitinib 15 mg, or adalimumab (PsA only) and are reported as exposure-adjusted event rates (events per 100 patient-years [E/100 PY]).

resultsMost patients (87.1%-99.3%) did not have a history of EMMs at baseline. In PsA, development of uveitis and IBD were low regardless of treatment or prior EMM history; rates were similar with upadacitinib 15 mg and adalimumab. In r-axSpA, development of uveitis was numerically lower (E/100 PY) in patients treated with upadacitinib 15 mg (2.8) versus placebo (7.5) and in patients with no history of uveitis (upadacitinib 15 mg 0.6; placebo 1.2) versus a history of uveitis (upadacitinib 15 mg 2.1; placebo 6.2); occurrence of IBD and psoriasis were low regardless of treatment or history. In nr-axSpA, development of uveitis was low regardless of history but was numerically lower in patients treated with upadacitinib 15 mg (0.9) versus placebo (2.1); occurrence of IBD and psoriasis were low or absent.

conclusionIn patients with spondyloarthritis, development of EMMs was generally low with upadacitinib 15 mg. Uveitis was numerically lower in patients treated with upadacitinib 15 mg versus placebo, and particularly in r-axSpA. Regardless of treatment in r-axSpA, having a history of uveitis appeared to predispose patients for future uveitis events.
