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

objectiveThis phase I study aimed to systematically assess the safety, local tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of topical icotinib hydrochloride cream in patients with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis. MATERIALS AND

methodsEligible Chinese adult patients with mild to moderate psoriasis were assigned to the icotinib cream or vehicle group. Icotinib cream with increasing concentrations (0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and 4.0%) or vehicle were administered by the fingertip unit method to the skin lesions twice a day for 4 weeks. Safety assessments included the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs), local tolerability at the treatment area, vital signs, and laboratory examinations. Plasma levels of icotinib were also measured for the pharmacokinetics calculation. The efficacy was preliminarily explored by assessing the improvement in the severity level using Target Plaque Severity Score (TPSS) and overall improvement using the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatological Quality Life Index.

resultsForty-one patients were enrolled and qualified for safety analysis. 27 (65.9%) patients experienced at least one AE, of which application-site adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were reported in 6 (14.6%) patients. All ADRs were of grade 1 or 2, most common irritation (4.5%), itching (3.1%), and erythema (2.4%), and resolved during follow-up. The systemic exposure to icotinib was very low; the highest plasma concentration was 0.214 ng/mL, while the area under the curve from 0 to 12 hours was 1.626 h·ng/mL. The TPSS improved for all icotinib groups after treatment in a dose- and time-dependent manner.

conclusionThis phase 1 study demonstrated favorable safety, tolerable toxicity, and preliminary efficacy of icotinib cream in patients with mild to moderate psoriasis. The dose concentration of 2.0% (twice daily based on the fingertip unit method) is recommended for further study. STUDY

designThis is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, and vehicle-controlled study.
