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

introductionPatients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) initiating guselkumab are nearly two times more likely to remain persistent with on-label therapy at 12 months compared to those initiating subcutaneous (SC) interleukin-17A inhibitors (IL-17Ai). In this real-world study, on-label treatment persistence at 24 months was compared between patients with active PsA initiating guselkumab versus SC IL-17Ai, overall and among biologic-naïve and biologic-experienced subgroups.

methodsAdult patients with active PsA initiated on guselkumab or SC IL-17Ai (secukinumab, ixekizumab) between July 14 2020 and December 31 2022 were identified from the IQVIA PharMetrics

resultsOverall, 849 patients initiating guselkumab (biologic-naïve: 362, biologic-experienced: 487) and 2601 patients initiating SC IL-17Ai (biologic-naïve: 845, biologic-experienced: 1756) were included. On-label treatment persistence rates at 24 months were 44.9% and 35.0% for patients initiating guselkumab or SC IL-17Ai, respectively, with patients initiating guselkumab being 1.49 times more likely to be persistent with on-label therapy (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.49 [1.29, 1.72]; P < 0.001). Results were consistent among biologic-naïve (1.70 [1.32, 2.20]; P < 0.001) and biologic-experienced (1.33 [1.11, 1.59]; P = 0.002) subgroups.

conclusionThis real-world study identified greater on-label treatment persistence rates at 24 months in patients with active PsA initiating guselkumab versus SC IL-17Ai, overall and among biologic-naïve and biologic-experienced subgroups.
