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

Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD) are two common chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Although showing different etiology and clinical manifestations, patients with either disease suffer from low health-related quality of life due to pruritus (dermal itch). Recent studies have revealed that more than 85% of psoriasis patients suffer from pruritus, and it is also the dominating symptom of AD. However, as this is a non-life treating symptom, it was partly neglected for years. In this review, we focus on current findings as well as the impact and potential treatments of pruritus in these two skin diseases. We first distinguish the type of itch based on involved mediators and modulators. This clear delineation between the types of pruritus based on involved receptors and pathways allows for precise treatment. In addition, insights into recent clinical trials aimed to alleviate pruritus by targeting these receptors are presented. We also report about novel advances in combinatorial treatments, dedicated to the type of pruritus linked to a causal disease. Altogether, we suggest that only a focused treatment tailored to the primary disease and the underlying molecular signals will provide fast and sustained relief of pruritus associated with psoriasis or AD.
