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

backgroundHigh-impact site plaque psoriasis is difficult to treat. Icotrokinra, an oral peptide with high specificity for the interleukin (IL)-23 receptor, demonstrated significantly higher rates of high-impact site psoriasis clearance, versus placebo, with no safety signals, through Week (W)16.

objectivesReport clinical response rates and safety through 1 year of icotrokinra treatment in participants with high-impact site plaque psoriasis.

methodsParticipants (≥12 years of age; psoriasis body surface area ≥1%; Investigator's Global Assessment [IGA] ≥2) with at least moderate scalp, genital or hand/foot psoriasis were randomized (2:1) to once-daily icotrokinra 200 mg (N = 208) or placebo (N = 103), with placebo-to-icotrokinra transition at W16 (N = 92). Rates (using nonresponder imputation) of achieving clear/almost clear (0/1) or clear (0) overall skin (IGA), genital (static Physician's Global Assessment of genitalia [sPGA-G]), hand/foot (hf-PGA) psoriasis and absent/very mild (0/1) or absent (0) scalp psoriasis (scalp-specific-IGA [ss-IGA]), modified Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (mNAPSI) percent improvement and safety were assessed through W52.

resultsEighty-eight per cent (275/311) of participants completed treatment through W52. In icotrokinra-randomized participants, response rates increased through W24 and were durable through W52 for overall psoriasis clearance (IGA 0/1 range: 67%-70%) and across high-impact sites (ss-IGA 0/1: 72%-78%; sPGA-G 0/1: 85%-90%; hf-PGA 0/1: 54%-62%); responses were consistent among placebo-randomized participants after transitioning to icotrokinra. High proportions of icotrokinra-randomized participants achieved complete clearance during W24-52 (IGA 0: 44%-51%; ss-IGA 0: 57%-66%; sPGA-G 0: 73%-84%; hf-PGA 0: 44%-58%). Mean mNAPSI improvement increased from W16 (33%) to W52 (62%). Exposure-adjusted rates of participants with ≥1 adverse event (AE) or serious AE through W16 were similar between icotrokinra and placebo, with no increase in AE rates or occurrence of a safety signal through W52.

conclusionsIcotrokinra demonstrated high and durable rates of psoriasis clearance across high-impact sites, with a favourable safety profile, through 1 year.
