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.
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
introductionThe use of brodalumab in patients with psoriasis who have failed other biologic drugs is an underexplored topic.
objectivesTo evaluate the safety and the efficacy of brodalumab in a subgroup of psoriasis patients who already failed anti-IL23 or anti-IL12/23 treatment.
methodsUsing the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), we retrospectively evaluated a cohort of 23 patients with psoriasis who underwent a change in therapy with brodalumab exclusively following primary or secondary therapeutic failure of anti-IL-23 or anti-12/23 drugs.
resultsThe mean PASI decreased significantly following the introduction of brodalumab after four weeks of treatment, continuing to decrease at 16 and 36 weeks, reaching the nadir at 52 weeks (baseline PASI baseline: 14.6 ± 9.2 vs. 52 weeks PASI: 1.1 ± 1.8; P<0.001). Sixty-three point six percent of patients reached PASI 100 just after 16 weeks. The same trend of improvement was also observed for the DLQI. The adverse effects observed in our study population were generally mild.
conclusionsOur results are in line with the current literature and suggest that patients who have failed therapy with IL-23 or IL-12/23 inhibitors may benefit from switching to brodalumab, which could be considered a good choice for patients who need a rapid resolution of the inflammatory skin condition.
