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.

Abstract

Objective: To assess long-term tofacitinib efficacy and safety in patients with PsA with or without prior biologic DMARD (bDMARD) exposure. Methods: Data were pooled post hoc from three phase 3 and one long-term extension (LTE) PsA studies and stratified by TNF inhibitor-inadequate responder (TNFi-IR) or bDMARD-naïve patient status at the phase 3 study baseline. Data were reported as all tofacitinib (patients receiving one or more tofacitinib doses) or average tofacitinib 5 and 10 mg twice daily (patients receiving an average total daily dose <15 and ≥15 mg, respectively). Drug survival to month 51, efficacy to month 42 and safety were assessed descriptively. Results: A total of 408 TNFi-IR patients (including 29 TNFi-experienced with unknown IR status) and 562 bDMARD-naïve patients were included. At baseline, TNFi-IR patients were more likely to be ≥65 years old, have cardiovascular/venous thromboembolism risk and have longer disease duration Conclusion: These findings support long-term tofacitinib efficacy and safety in TNFi-IR and bDMARD-naïve patients. However, the benefit-risk profile appeared more favourable in bDMARD-naïve patients, likely due to differences in baseline characteristics and risk factors between subgroups. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01877668, NCT01882439, NCT03486457, NCT01976364.
