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

introductionSwitching biologics within or across classes can improve outcomes for patients with psoriasis who failed to meet their treatment goals on their original therapy. The objective of this study was to identify real-world baseline features which are associated with switching psoriasis therapies following sustained use of a biologic therapy.

methodsThe study was a retrospective analysis of the prospective, multicenter, non-interventional PPD™ CorEvitas™ Psoriasis Registry cohort. Patient sociodemographics, comorbidities, treatment history, disease activity, and patient-reported outcome measures were assessed at baseline visits, along with changes in disease activity and treatment at follow-up visits. Patients were classified at each follow-up visit as either switchers from one biologic therapy to another or non-switchers. Three analytic strategies-logistic regression, random forest, and decision trees-were used to identify features associated with switching.

resultsPatients contributed 14,729 follow-up visits, of which 995 episodes (6.8%) reflected a switch in biologic therapy. In logistic regression models, statistically significant associations with switching were seen for features including body surface area (BSA) involvement at baseline, change in BSA involvement from baseline to follow-up, and addition of at least one non-biologic systemic medication to treatment between baseline and follow-up. In random forest estimations, these three variables along with patient-reported fatigue and quality of life were determined to be most important. Finally, in the decision tree analysis, four subgroups of patients with moderate/severe BSA involvement at baseline in combination with other specific variables were identified as having a > 50% likelihood of switching.

conclusionIdentification and recognition of these features and combinations thereof can facilitate shared decision-making between clinicians and patients to improve both outcomes of and patient satisfaction with biologic therapy.
