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.

Abstract

backgroundPathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) involves the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway. A cream formulation of ruxolitinib, a potent selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor, was developed for topical delivery.

methodPharmacokinetic data were obtained from three double-blind, vehicle-controlled studies in patients with AD: a phase II study with ruxolitinib cream 0.15%, 0.5%, or 1.5% once daily or 1.5% twice daily (BID), and two phase III studies with 0.75% or 1.5% BID. Effects of baseline characteristics on pharmacokinetics were examined. Correlations were attempted between plasma concentrations and change in hematological parameters over time.

resultsRuxolitinib plasma concentrations at steady-state (C

conclusionsPlasma ruxolitinib concentrations after treatment with topical ruxolitinib cream in patients with up to 20% BSA affected by AD are not expected to lead to systemic plasma concentrations that may be associated with adverse effects commonly associated with oral JAK inhibitors.
