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
Background: Secukinumab, an IL-17A inhibitor, has been recommended for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients with contraindications to TNF-alpha inhibitors (TNFi). However, its budgetary implications in Thailand remain unclear. Objective: To estimate the 5-year budget impact of introducing secukinumab 150 mg for PsA patients contraindicated to TNFi therapy from the perspective of the Thai healthcare system. Methods: A budget impact analysis (BIA) was developed following the Thai HTA Guideline. Two treatment scenarios were compared: the current standard of care using csDMARDs and a new scenario incorporating secukinumab 150 mg (auto-injector). The model estimated eligible patients based on national demographics and clinical data. Costs included direct medical costs for medications, administration, monitoring, and complications. Net budget impact (NBI) was estimated. Deterministic sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the impact of varying uptake rates and treatment durations. Results: Under the base-case scenario over five years, secukinumab use resulted in the NBI of 15.14 million THB (434,965 USD), with an average annual net budget impact of 3.03 million THB (86,993 USD). Drug acquisition accounted for 97.16% of the total budget impact. Sensitivity analyses revealed a higher financial burden with increased uptake or lifetime treatment but remained within a manageable range (up to 18.34 million THB or 526,849 USD). Conclusion: Introducing secukinumab for PsA patients contraindicated to TNFi is associated with a moderate increase in healthcare expenditure. These findings suggest that inclusion of secukinumab in the National List of Essential Medicines for this specific population may be feasible, conditional on successful price negotiation and/or managed entry arrangements to ensure budgetary sustainability and equitable access.
