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

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab, an interleukin-23p19 subunit inhibitor, in participants with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and inadequate response (inadequate efficacy and/or intolerance) to one prior tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor.

methodsIn SOLSTICE (phase 3b, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study), enrolled adults with active PsA (three or more swollen joints; three or more tender joints; C-reactive protein ≥ 0.3 mg/dL) and inadequate response to one prior TNF inhibitor were randomized to guselkumab 100 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W), guselkumab 100 mg at weeks 0 and 4 and then Q8W, or placebo with crossover to guselkumab Q4W at week 24. The primary endpoint was ≥20% improvement in American College of Rheumatology criteria (ACR20) at week 24. Secondary endpoints included ACR50, ACR70, Investigator's Global Assessment of psoriasis (IGA) score of 0 or 1 with ≥2-grade improvement, ≥90% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI90), and minimal disease activity (MDA) at week 24 and were analyzed by intention-to-treat.

resultsAnalyses included 451 randomized participants (Q4W n = 150; Q8W n = 151; placebo n = 150). At week 24, significantly greater proportions of guselkumab (Q4W/Q8W)-treated participants versus placebo-treated participants, respectively, achieved ACR20 (primary endpoint: 58.6%/62.2% vs 34.8%), ACR50 (31.4%/32.1% vs 12.2%), ACR70 (17.5%/17.3% vs 2.0%), IGA 0/1 response (50.0%/57.3% vs 17.4%), PASI90 (49.4%/45.5% vs 12.0%), and MDA (18.8%/23.9% vs 5.4%) (all P < 0.001). Through week 24, 46.7%, 53.6%, and 48.3% of participants receiving guselkumab Q4W, guselkumab Q8W, and placebo, respectively, had one or more adverse event. One death occurred (myocardial infarction).

conclusionComparable efficacy was observed with both guselkumab regimens in participants with active PsA and inadequate response to one prior TNF inhibitor; safety findings were consistent with the known profile of guselkumab in patients with psoriatic disease.
