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

backgroundThe therapeutic response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) remains relatively low in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), leading to delayed disease control and frequent treatment switches. Predictive biomarkers may enable personalized treatment and earlier disease control. We aimed to identify transcriptomic and proteomic markers for tofacitinib or comparator treatment outcomes and develop a prediction model to support treatment decisions in PsA patients.

methodsBaseline CD4

resultsFifty percent of patients responded to treatment. Eighteen transcriptomic, ten proteomic, and two clinical predictors were selected. The integrated multi-omics model incorporating treatment-predictor interactions achieved the highest performance (AUC = 0.70 ± 0.19; variation (SD) in treatment-effects in patients 15.2% ± 14.8%). The selected proteins were significantly interconnected (p-value = 3.41E-5) and related to immune system processes.

conclusionsIntegrated baseline gene and protein expression profiles combined with clinical variables can predict treatment response and identify differential treatment effects between individual patients. These findings demonstrate the potential of omics-guided personalized treatment for patients with PsA.
