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

backgroundPlaque psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by skin scales. It causes a cosmetic problem for patients. Mirikizumab has shown promising results in managing psoriasis. Nevertheless, there remains a dispute over its safety. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of mirikizumab in individuals with plaque psoriasis.

methodsWe searched four databases: PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science. We included trials comparing mirikizumab with placebo in psoriatic patients. Two independent authors extracted data in an Excel sheet. We used RevMan software (version 5.2) to perform meta-analysis.

resultsA meta-analysis of three RCTs with a total of 1648 patients was performed. Mirikizumab showed significantly higher rates of PASI 75, PASI 90, and PASI 100 responses at week 16 compared to placebo, with risk ratios (RR) of 10.47, 11.5, and 25.94, respectively (all P < 0.00001). According to adverse events, we found no difference between mirikizumab and placebo. Furthermore, mirikizumab showed significant results compared to placebo in terms of DLQI, sPGA, and body surface area, with P < 0.00001. Unfortunately, there was no difference between the two groups regarding adverse events, with p = 0.63.

conclusionMirikizumab showed good responses in managing plaque psoriasis. However, additional clinical trials are required to verify its safety and evaluate its long-term efficacy.
