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 aim of the study was to systematically assess the efficacy and safety of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), interleukin-17 inhibitors (IL-17i), and Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) in patients with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA).

methodsA systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Register of Clinical Trials, and Scopus to find randomized controlled trials in patients with nr-axSpA published until June 2023. Stata 17.0 software and Review Manager 5.4 software were used for data analysis. The results for binary and continuous variables were expressed as the values of odds ratio and mean difference and their 95% confidence interval, respectively.

resultsFor Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society Response Criteria for 40% improvement (ASAS40), the efficacy of the 12 interventions ranked as follows: certolizumab pegol (CZP) 200 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) > CZP 400 mg Q4W > golimumab (GOL) > bimekizumab (BKZ) > adalimumab (ADA) > upadacitinib (UPA) > etanercept (ETN) > brodalumab (BRO) > ixekizumab (IXE) > secukinumab (SEC) 150 mg no loading (NL) > SEC 150 mg loading dose (LD) > placebo (PBO). For assessment of ASAS20, the NMA results were ranked as follows: GOL > CZP 400 mg Q4W> BKZ> ADA > UPA > CZP 200 mg Q2W > ETN > BRO > SEC 150 mg NL > SEC 150 mg LD > PBO, and GOL > ADA > PBO > UPA > SEC 150 mg NL > BKZ > IXE > SEC 150 mg LD > ETN > CZP 200 mg Q2W for adverse events.

conclusionsMost TNFi may be more effective than JAKi and IL-17i. They were all well tolerated. However, the efficacy and safety of TNFi/IL-17i/JAKi remain to be further analyzed in studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up times.
