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.

Abstract

backgroundThe phase 3, open-label, randomised, crossover MG0020 study investigated rozanolixizumab self-administration, efficacy, and safety in patients with generalised myasthenia gravis (gMG) using infusion pump and manual push methods.

methodsAdults with gMG received once-weekly rozanolixizumab for 18 weeks, comprising a 6-week Training Period and two 6-week Self-Administration Periods where patients were randomised 1:1 to Sequence 1 (infusion pump then manual push) or Sequence 2 (manual push then infusion pump). The primary endpoint was successful rozanolixizumab self-administration (choosing correct infusion site, administering subcutaneously, delivering intended dose), evaluated by a healthcare professional (HCP) at weeks 12 and 18. Secondary endpoints included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Additional endpoints included change from baseline in total immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score, and patients' administration method preference.

resultsSixty-two patients received treatment; 55 were randomised (Sequence 1: n = 28; Sequence 2: n = 27). The self-administration success rate was 100% with both methods. Decreases from baseline in IgG and MG-ADL score were maintained during self-administration with both methods. TEAEs occurred in 47/62 (75.8%) patients; most events (161/165 [97.6%]) were mild or moderate. Incidence was comparable for both methods. Most patients (35/55 [63.6%]) preferred self-administration to HCP administration (5/55 [9.1%]); more preferred manual push (25/55 [45.5%]) to infusion pump (17/55 [30.9%]).

conclusionsAll patients successfully self-administered rozanolixizumab; more patients preferred manual push. Efficacy and safety were consistent with the known HCP-administered profile. These results support rozanolixizumab self-administration and manual push administration in patients with gMG.
