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
introductionThe objective of this study was to assess treatment response to ixekizumab, an interleukin-17A antagonist, by shorter versus longer symptom duration (< 5 years vs. ≥ 5 years) in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) up to 52 weeks.
methodsThis post hoc analysis used data from three randomized, placebo-controlled trials including patients with r-axSpA from COAST-V [biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARD)-naïve] and COAST-W (tumor necrosis factor inhibitor-experienced) and patients with nr-axSpA from COAST-X (bDMARD-naïve). Patients received ixekizumab (80 mg every 2 or 4 weeks) or placebo through Week 16 and ixekizumab to Week 52. Assessments included the Assessment in SpondyloArthritis international Society 40% improvement (ASAS40) and Axial Spondyloarthritis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) low disease activity [LDA (< 2.1)] and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index 50% improvement (BASDAI50) response rates through Week 52 and change from baseline in 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS) at Week 16.
resultsFewer patients treated with ixekizumab (pooled dosing) had shorter versus longer symptom duration [n = 33 vs. n = 306 (r-axSpA); n = 73 vs. n = 111 (nr-axSpA)]. Ixekizumab-treated patients with shorter versus longer symptom duration had numerically higher response rates at Week 16/Week 52 for ASAS40 [51.5/60.6 vs. 36.9/40.5 (r-axSpA); 42.5/54.8 vs. 36.0/41.4 (nr-axSpA)], ASDAS LDA [39.4/48.5 vs. 27.5/35.6 (r-axSpA); 32.9/49.3 vs. 27.9/36.9 (nr-axSpA)], and BASDAI50 [42.4/54.5 vs. 31.4/36.6 (r-axSpA); 38.4/49.3 vs. 27.9/34.2 (nr-axSpA)]. However, relative risk ratios at Week 16 did not significantly favor the shorter duration subgroup. Findings were comparable for SF-36 PCS at Week 16. The present findings should be interpreted in the context of small numbers of patients in some shorter duration subgroups.
conclusionIxekizumab was shown to be efficacious in both patients with shorter or longer symptom duration and in r-axSpA or nr-axSpA.
