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

backgroundIn the Phase 3 MycarinG study (NCT03971422), rozanolixizumab improved myasthenia gravis (MG)-specific outcomes versus placebo in patients with generalised MG, including those measured by the five independent MG Symptoms patient-reported outcome (PRO) scales: Muscle Weakness Fatigability (MWF), Physical Fatigue (PF) and Bulbar Muscle Weakness (BMW) as secondary endpoints and Ocular Muscle Weakness and Respiratory Muscle Weakness (exploratory endpoints). This research aimed to provide further insights into these improvements.

methodsPost hoc analyses evaluated correlation (Pearson coefficient) between MG Symptoms PRO and subdomain scores of MG Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) and Quantitative MG (QMG) at baseline. Proportions of responders reaching clinically meaningful thresholds and analyses at the item level (observed mean change and Rasch modelling of predicted change from baseline) are reported for MWF, PF, and BMW with rozanolixizumab versus placebo at Day 43.

resultsCorrelation coefficients between MG Symptoms PRO and MG-ADL were strong (≥ 0.7) for ocular and bulbar scores and moderate (0.5 to < 0.7) for other scores. Correlations with clinician-assessed QMG scores were generally weak (< 0.5). For MWF, PF, and BMW, greater proportions of responders were observed with rozanolixizumab 7 mg/kg (46.9%, 31.3% and 26.6%, respectively) or 10 mg/kg (56.5%, 48.4% and 32.3%) versus placebo (28.1%, 26.6% and 10.9%). Item-level analyses demonstrated rozanolixizumab benefit at a symptom-specific level. DISCUSSION: MG Symptoms PRO scales correlate well with concepts in MG-ADL while assessing additional concepts, such as PF and MWF. Results from the MG Symptoms PRO in MycarinG reflected improvements from baseline in patient-relevant symptoms, including fatigue, with rozanolixizumab.
