Pain-Related Quality of Life Outcomes in People With Haemophilia A Receiving Emicizumab: A Post Hoc Analysis of the HAVEN 1, 3 and 4 and STASEY Studies.
Trial report in Haemophilia : the official journal of the World Federation of Hemophilia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.
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

Abstract
introductionPeople with haemophilia A (PwHA) experience acute and chronic pain associated with reduced quality of life (QoL).
aimsThis post hoc analysis of pooled data from the HAVEN 1 (NCT02622321), 3 (NCT02847637), 4 (NCT03020160) and STASEY (NCT0319179) studies assessed the impact of emicizumab prophylaxis on pain-related QoL in PwHA.
methodsPwHA received emicizumab during the four studies. In this analysis, pain was assessed using patient-reported responses to pain-specific questions from the Haem-A-QoL/Haemo-QoL-SF and the pain/discomfort dimension of the EQ-5D-5L. Responses were recorded at baseline and at regular intervals for up to 78 weeks following treatment initiation. Additional analyses evaluated the population with target joints at baseline, and the overall population stratified by age, factor (F)VIII inhibitor status and prior treatment.
resultsAt the data cut-off, 504 PwHA had been treated across the four studies; 464 and 470 completed the Haem-A-QoL/Haemo-QoL-SF and the EQ-5D-5L, respectively. Improvements in pain-related QoL were observed by Week 13 of emicizumab prophylaxis and maintained through Week 78. In the overall population, responses of 'never/rarely' for 'my swellings hurt' and 'pain in joints' increased from 37.0% and 30.0% at baseline to 84.0% and 61.0% by Week 13, suggesting reductions in acute and chronic pain, respectively. Similar improvements were seen in the target joint population, and across all strata. Greater improvements were observed in younger versus older PwHA.
conclusionPain-related QoL improved with emicizumab prophylaxis regardless of target joints, age, FVIII inhibitor status or prior treatment. Haemophilia-specific assessments are needed to accurately capture and characterize pain in PwHA.
