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

introductionClinical trials and real-world evidence have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of rVIII-SingleChain in previously treated patients with haemophilia A.

aimTo investigate the safety and efficacy of rVIII-SingleChain in previously untreated patients (PUPs).

methodsIn an open-label, phase 3, extension study, PUPs with severe haemophilia A (FVIII <1%) received rVIII-SingleChain prophylactically or on-demand. The primary endpoints were incidence of high-titre (HT) inhibitor formation to FVIII, treatment success for major bleeding episodes and annualised spontaneous bleeding rate (AsBR).

resultsTwenty-four PUPs (median age 1 year [range 0-5]) were treated with rVIII-SingleChain; median time on study was 35.0 months (range 2.4-54.0). Overall, six PUPs developed a HT inhibitor (>5 BU/mL) and six developed a low-titre (LT) inhibitor (≤5 BU/mL). The median number of exposure days at inhibitor development was 10 (interquartile range [IQR] 5.0-14.0). Of 11 inhibitor-positive PUPs (five HT, six LT) who continued rVIII-SingleChain therapy, nine (81.8%; three HT, six LT) achieved inhibitor eradication (<0.6 BU/mL). Median time to eradication was 14.3 weeks (IQR 9.8-53.8). Seventeen treatment-emergent adverse events in 12 PUPs (50.0%) were related to rVIII-SingleChain, mainly inhibitor development (14/17 events). Treatment was successful (haemostatic efficacy rated excellent or good) for 290/315 bleeding events (92.1%). During prophylactic therapy, inhibitor-negative PUPs had a median (IQR) AsBR of 0.52 (0.00-4.99) and annualised bleeding rate of 1.98 (0.77-11.23).

conclusionRVIII-SingleChain demonstrated a satisfactory benefit:risk profile in PUPs, with a high treatment success rate and a low AsBR during prophylaxis, and was effective at eradicating inhibitors.
