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

introductionConventional Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) response rates provide a cross-sectional assessment of treatment effectiveness but do not capture the speed, magnitude, and persistence of clinical improvement. This study evaluated the patient-level cumulative clinical benefit of brodalumab over 52 weeks in routine clinical practice.

methodsThis multicentre, retrospective, observational study included adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis treated with brodalumab within the Italian Landscape Psoriasis database. The primary analysis included patients with PASI assessments at baseline and Weeks 16, 32, and 52. Individual percentage PASI improvement trajectories were integrated using the trapezoidal area under the curve and expressed as normalized cumulative clinical benefit and clearance-equivalent days. Baseline factors associated with cumulative benefit were assessed using multivariable median quantile regression.

resultsAmong 858 patients eligible for the 52-week analysis, 764 had complete longitudinal PASI data, and 645 were included in the multivariable analysis. Median PASI decreased from 14.7 at baseline to 0.0 at Weeks 16, 32, and 52. At Week 52, 93.1%, 86.1%, and 70.4% of patients achieved PASI 75, PASI 90, and PASI 100, respectively. Median normalized cumulative clinical benefit was 97.4% (interquartile range, 90.0-100.0), corresponding to 300.0 clearance-equivalent days (277.2-308.0). Palmoplantar involvement was independently associated with lower cumulative benefit (adjusted median difference, - 3.21 percentage points; 95% confidence interval, - 6.29 to - 0.87), whereas scalp or facial involvement was associated with modestly higher benefit (+ 1.39; 0.38-3.27). Longer psoriasis duration was associated with a small increase in cumulative benefit.

conclusionBrodalumab provided rapid, deep, and sustained disease control over 52 weeks. Patient-level cumulative outcomes may complement conventional PASI response rates by capturing the overall longitudinal treatment benefit.
