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

introductionTildrakizumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin (IL)-23 approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis across two different dosages (100 mg and 200 mg). The higher dosage is recommended for patients with a body weight ≥ 90 kg or a high disease burden (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index [PASI] ≥ 16 or the involvement of difficult-to-treat areas). We conducted a 52-week multicenter retrospective study to compare the effectiveness and safety of both dosages and assess their impact on specific patient subgroups.

methodsWe enrolled a total of 540 patients with high disease burden or body weight ≥ 90 kg; 177 and 363 were treated with tildrakizumab 200 mg and 100 mg, respectively. The effectiveness was evaluated in terms of PASI 90, PASI 100, and PASI ≤ 2 at weeks 16, 28, and 52. We also performed subanalyses according to the body weight (≥ 90 kg), PASI ≥ 16, prior biologic exposure, involvement of difficult-to-treat areas, and the presence of at least one cardiometabolic comorbidity.

resultsAfter 16 weeks of treatment, a higher proportion of patients in the 200-mg group achieved PASI 90 and PASI 100 compared to those in the 100-mg group (43.5% vs. 34.3% and 36.4% vs. 24.2%, respectively). These results were sustained at 1 year, with PASI 90 and PASI 100 reached by 68.6% and 52.9% of patients in the 200-mg group, respectively, versus 57.3% and 35% in the 100-mg group. All subgroup analyses consistently indicated a trend toward greater effectiveness with tildrakizumab 200 mg, particularly in terms of PASI 90 and PASI 100 achievement at weeks 16 and 52. No differences in the safety profile were observed throughout the study period.

conclusionOur findings confirm the superior effectiveness of tildrakizumab 200 mg over 100 mg in specific subgroups of patients with a comparable safety profile across the study period.
