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

Background: DMB-3115 is a biosimilar to Stelara (hereinafter referred to as ustekinumab). Objectives: To evaluate the clinical similarity of DMB-3115 with ustekinumab in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Methods: In this phase 3, randomized, double-blind, parallel-arm study, adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were randomized to receive DMB-3115 or ustekinumab (weeks 0-28), followed by re-randomization to continue treatment or switch to DMB-3115 (weeks 28-52). The primary efficacy endpoints were percent change in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score from baseline to week 8 and week 12. The safety endpoint was the incidence of adverse events. Results: A total of 598 patients were randomized to receive DMB-3115 ( Limitations: Data were only through week 52. Conclusions: DMB-3115 showed a similar clinical efficacy and safety profile to ustekinumab in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
