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

introductionPlaque psoriasis (PsO) is an inflammatory skin disease that can impair quality of life. Tildrakizumab, an anti-IL-23 p19 monoclonal antibody, offers a treatment option for patients eligible for systemic therapy or phototherapy, but real-world results have not been comprehensively analyzed. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated real-world effectiveness, quality-of-life impact, and safety of tildrakizumab for treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque PsO, alone and relative to guselkumab and risankizumab.

methodsMEDLINE® and Embase were searched on November 16, 2023, along with meeting abstracts (2021-2023) and bibliographies of previous reviews, for English-language real-world studies of tildrakizumab (singly or comparative) in adults with chronic moderate-to-severe plaque PsO. Outcomes included effectiveness (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index [PASI], Physician's Global Assessment [PGA], body surface area percentage [%BSA] affected), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and safety (adverse events [AEs], serious AEs [SAEs], treatment-related AEs [TRAEs], or withdrawals due to AEs [WDAEs]). Meta-analyses were performed at 12-16, 24-28, and 36-52 weeks.

resultsOf 6982 records screened, 37 studies (45 publications) were analyzed. Tildrakizumab-treated patients experienced 78-87% improvement from baseline to 36-52 weeks across mean absolute PASI (12.81 [95% confidence interval 11.69, 13.92] to 1.62 [1.03, 2.20]), %BSA (16.21% [13.72%, 18.70%] to 3.27% [1.26%, 5.28%]), PGA (3.18 [2.89, 3.47] to 0.70 [0.08, 1.33]), and DLQI (14.59 [12.32, 16.87] to 1.83 [0.84, 2.82]), with low rates of AEs, SAEs, TRAEs, and WDAEs. Benefits and safety of tildrakizumab were similar to guselkumab and risankizumab.

conclusionTildrakizumab demonstrated effectiveness, with reduction from moderate-to-severe to mild disease and improved DLQI scores, without notable safety concerns, for up to 1 year in this real-world meta-analysis. Although real-world data must be interpreted cautiously because of heterogeneity and potential bias, these findings align with randomized trial results, further supporting the use of tildrakizumab in clinical practice.
