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

Direct comparative evidence between IL-17A inhibitors for plaque psoriasis in Chinese populations remains limited. This study evaluated the comparative effectiveness of Xeligekimab vs Secukinumab and Ixekizumab through matchingadjusted indirect comparisons (MAICs). Individual patient data from the Xeligekimab trial (N=281) were weighted to match baseline characteristics from Chinese trials of Secukinumab (N=221) and Ixekizumab (N=176/92). Matching variables were determined following NICE and EUnetHTA MAIC guidelines, incorporating prognostic factors identified through multivariate regression. Primary endpoints included PASI 75/90/100 achievement at weeks 12, 52 and 60. At week 12, Secukinumab showed numerically higher PASI 75 (97.7% vs 93.0%, p=0.052) without statistical significance, while other endpoints were comparable (all p>0.05). At week 52, Xeligekimab showed significantly higher PASI 100 achievement (57.8% vs 42.1%, p=0.005) and DLQI 0/1 (68.8% vs 47.5%, p<0.001) vs Secukinumab. At week 60, Xeligekimab maintained significantly higher PASI 75 vs Ixekizumab (92.6% vs 76.1%, p<0.001) with lower infection rates during induction period (7.9% vs 34.7%, p<0.001) and maintenance period (22.4% vs 56.5%, p<0.001). This MAIC provides hypothesis-enerating evidence that Xeligekimab may offer advantages in specific long-term efficacy endpoints and safety outcomes, requiring confirmation in direct randomized controlled trials.
