JAK inhibitors in the treatment of atopic dermatitis.
Review in The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06361992 (Efficacy and Safety of Blue Cap for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis in Children), which is not on this map. Cited by 184 papers, 10 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder associated with heterogenous presentation and often immense patient burden. Safe, targeted treatment options are currently limited. This focused review of the published literature, including clinical trial results, case reports, and abstracts, as well as presentations from scientific meetings and data from industry press releases, describes the use of topical and systemic Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in the treatment of AD. New topical JAK inhibitors include ruxolitinib (JAK1/2) and delgocitinib (pan-JAK). Ruxolitinib cream met all primary and secondary endpoints in phase 3 clinical trials for mild-to-moderate AD with minimal treatment-emergent adverse events. Delgocitinib ointment was recently approved in Japan for pediatric and adult AD. Oral JAK inhibitors include baricitinib (JAK1/2), abrocitinib (JAK1-selective), and upadacitinib (JAK1-selective). All 3 met primary and secondary endpoints across numerous trials for moderate-to-severe AD. Treatment-emergent adverse events were mainly mild to moderate and included acne, nausea, headache, upper respiratory tract infection, and to a lesser degree, herpes infection and selected laboratory abnormalities. JAK inhibitors hold great promise as the next generation of targeted AD therapy. While their outstanding efficacy is balanced by a favorable safety profile in clinical trials, real-world data are needed to better understand long-term safety, durability, and treatment success.
