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

objectiveAtopic dermatitis is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense pruritus, excoriations and limited therapies. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody against interleukin-4 receptor alpha, is a promising new treatment option for atopic dermatitis. We sought to systematically summarize the efficacy, safety, and influence on quality of life of dupilumab for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in adults.

resultsA total of 7 RCTs containing 2705 subjects were identified. Significantly more patients receiving dupilumab (611/1789) achieved Investigator's Global Assessment response compared with the control (89/916; RR, 3.95;

conclusionsDupilumab is effective and safe for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in adults. This meta-analysis supports the role of dupilumab as a primary targeted biologic therapy in adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe searched Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for eligible trials. Only double-blinded randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in treating moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis were included in this analysis. We made a comparison of dupilumab with control based on the pooled relative risk (RR), weighted mean difference, and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals of different measurements.
