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

backgroundBerotralstat is a first-line once-daily oral prophylactic treatment for hereditary angioedema (HAE). Berolife was designed to evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of berotralstat in real-world conditions.

methodsBerolife is an open-label, multicenter, observational study conducted in France from September 2021 to January 2024. The primary objective was to assess tolerability, and secondary objectives included characterization of the treated population and assessment of berotralstat effectiveness. HAE attack rate was assessed before and after initiation of berotralstat using the paired Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

resultsAltogether, 80 patients were enrolled in the study (75 with HAE-C1INH type 1 or 2 and 5 with HAE-nC1INH) and received at least one dose of berotralstat. At baseline, patients had a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 40.0 (17.5) years, and most (67.5%) had received prior long-term prophylaxis treatment. The mean (SD) duration of berotralstat treatment was 11.5 (8.5) months. Treatment-related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 45.0% of patients, with gastrointestinal disorders being the most common (diarrhea: 13.8%, abdominal pain: 12.5%, upper abdominal pain: 7.5%). Importantly, no treatment-related serious AEs were reported. A total of 61 patients were treated with berotralstat for ≥ 6 months and evaluated for effectiveness. At 6 months of treatment, a significant reduction in monthly HAE attack rates was observed (mean [SD]: 0.62 [0.66] vs. mean [SD]: 1.25 [1.10] at baseline; p = 0.001).

conclusionsBerotralstat was generally well tolerated with a tolerability profile consistent with prior clinical trials. Significant reductions in monthly HAE attack rates were observed, confirming its effectiveness in real-world settings.
