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

objectiveSecukinumab, a new treatment agent, selectively neutralizes interleukin (IL)-17A. It is used in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and psoriasis. It is known that the agents used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases have effects on hematological parameters. In this study, we aimed to determine whether hematological parameters are affected in secukinumab therapy in patients with AS and PsA.

methodsThirty-six patients on secukinumab treatment were included in the study by scanning the database of our hospital. Data on patients' age, gender, complete blood count (CBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), urea, creatinine values, and additional drug treatments were recorded from our database. The 0- and 6-month values of patients were analyzed.

resultsSixteen males (44.4%) and 20 females (55.6%) were included in our study. The average age was calculated to be 39.8±8.9 years. Of these, 30 patients receiving secukinumab treatment were diagnosed with AS, and 6 patients were diagnosed with PsA. Twenty-three patients (63.9%) were continued with secukinumab treatment at the 6th month. When CBC, glucose, urea, creatine, AST, ALT, ESR, CRP, and uric acid values of the patients at 0 and 6 months were compared, there was no significant difference.

conclusionIn our study, no significant difference was found between 0 and 6 months in terms of CBC, AST, ALT, urea, creatinine, uric acid, glucose, CRP, and ESR levels in patients receiving secukinumab. However, an increase in hemoglobin values was observed in patients who continued the treatment. These results may suggest that secukinumab treatment has no negative effects on hematological parameters.
