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

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense pruritus and recurrent eczematous lesions that significantly impair quality of life. It is a heterogeneous disease affecting both children and adults. The treatment of moderate-to-severe forms of AD is challenging, as topical corticosteroids are often insufficient to achieve disease control or inappropriate and off-label use of immunosuppressants may have significant undesirable side effects. The development of targeted biologic therapies specifically for AD is thus highly desirable. Dupilumab is the only biologic therapy that is Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD in patients 6 years and older, with consistent long-term efficacy and safety trial data. In this article, we review the mechanisms, safety, and efficacy of dupilumab from recent clinical trials, and we review the current data, mechanism of action, clinical efficacy, and limitations of new biologics currently in phase 2 and 3 clinical trials (lebrikizumab, tralokinumab, nemolizumab, tezepelumab, and ISB 830).
