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

backgroundDeucravacitinib, an oral tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in clinical trials; however, real-world evidence remains limited.

objectiveTo evaluate real-world effectiveness, safety, and treatment persistence of deucravacitinib in Korean patients with plaque psoriasis.

methodsThis retrospective multicenter study included adults with plaque psoriasis treated with deucravacitinib at 3 tertiary hospitals. Efficacy was assessed using Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), body surface area, and Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index at baseline, 4-6, 10-12, and ≥13 months. PASI75 and PASI90 responses were analyzed using observed case (OC) and modified non-responder imputation (mNRI). Adverse events (AEs) and persistence were analyzed descriptively. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of efficacy and AEs.

resultsForty-two patients (baseline PASI: 12.18±4.01) were included. PASI score decreased significantly to 3.42±3.10 at 4-6 months and 1.72±2.29 at 10-12 months. At 10-12 months, PASI75 and PASI90 response rates were 90.0% and 70.0% (OC; 18/20 and 14/20), and 75.0% and 58.3% (mNRI; 18/24 and 14/24). Thirteen patients (31.0%) reported AEs, primarily mucocutaneous and infectious; 3 patients discontinued deucravacitinib due to AEs. In both univariable and exploratory multivariable analyses, prior antihistamine use showed consistent borderline trends for PASI75 response, while male sex, increasing age, and shorter psoriasis duration showed borderline trends in either model. Treatment persistence was 73.2% at the last follow-up.

conclusionDeucravacitinib demonstrated consistent effectiveness, acceptable safety, and favorable persistence in routine Korean clinical practice, supporting its role as an oral treatment option for psoriasis.
