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

Systemic drug treatment of vitiligo is currently limited to predominantly adjuvant measures for increasing the effectiveness of UV light therapy. We here present new approaches for the systemic treatment of vitiligo currently under clinical investigation. These include the α‑MSH-analogue afamelatonide and oral immunosuppressants such as the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors which target interferon-α-dependent autotoxic inflammatory reactions. In 2015 the first publications on the successful systemic use of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in vitiligo appeared. The effectiveness was experimentally supported by animal models of vitiligo and by the characterization of new biomarkers in the serum of vitiligo patients. This may significantly expand the range of treatment options for vitiligo. Topical antiinflammatory and UV therapies are still the main components of vitiligo treatment, often in combination. The main outcome parameters include the extent and duration of repigmentation, cessation of spreading, avoidance of side effects and improvement in the quality of life of patients.
