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

An emerging treatment modality whose established efficacy in systemic inflammatory diseases is now being actively explored for cutaneous disorders: tofacitinib, an oral Janus kinase inhibitor, is one such treatment. Alopecia universalis has been reported to improve with the use of tofacitinib in various case reports and case series. Nail dystrophy is a diverse skin disorder that has been linked to autoimmune illnesses such as psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in certain subtypes. Alopecia areata and alopecia universalis are also commonly associated with nail dystrophy. In the present case report, we see that there are also improvements in nail dystrophy in the patient with alopecia universalis who is using tofacitinib.
