Our results showed an excellent efficacy of anti-IL12/23 and anti-IL17. However, these two therapies and anti-TNF- were revealed to have a high possibility to cause adverse effects (AEs) such as infections. Additionally, node splitting showed that no inconsistency appeared between the direct and indirect comparisons. Anti-IL12/23 was the most recommended therapy according to this NMA.

Discussion Undoubtedly, as the NMA results revealed, all included therapies showed significant efficacy when compared with PBO in terms of all the efficacy outcomes except for DLQI, which in general corresponded to the results of previous RCTs. Meanwhile, the efficacy and safety of these therapies were certainly different from each other. First of all, as was shown in the NMA results, anti-IL12/23 was proved to be the most ideal therapy among the included therapies. Its excellent efficacy as well as mild AEs was revealed. Additionally, its extraordinary efficacy and safety were also proved by previous RCTs, which corresponded with the results of previous RCT studies.25,29 Ustekinumab, an antibody agent binding to the shared p40 subunit of IL 12/23, was the most widely researched agent among the therapies mentioned above. It bound to the interleukins specifically and prevented their binding with respective receptors, thus blocked the downstream signaling cascades.25 Meanwhile, briakinumab, another research focus with analogous structure and function with ustekinumab, also showed an excellent performance clinically. Tildrakizumab and guselkumab are also experimental monoclonal antibodies (Statement on a Nonproprietary Name Adopted by the USAN CouncilTildrakizumab; Statement on A Nonproprietary Name Adopted by the USAN CouncilGuselkumab) designed to block IL-23. However, such agents still required.
