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

Chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) is a rare chronic immunological photo-dermatosis resulting in pruritic eczematous eruption on sun-exposed skin to ultraviolet (UV) light. The disease mechanism may include a delay-type hypersensitivity reaction to an endogenous photo-induced antigen, postulated to be UVR-altered DNA, but the exact pathophysiology is unknown. Minimum erythema dosing and patch testing are diagnostic tools of CAD. There are limited safe and effective treatment options for CAD. Herein, a case series of three patients with severe recalcitrant CAD is presented after being treated with dupilumab off-label. The patients in this study had persistent severe disease and taken the first-line management plan, which consists of topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI), topical corticosteroids (TCS), and strict photoprotection. However, the above treatment options were not able to control the symptoms. The patients were treated with dupilumab 600 mg first dose, 300 mg biweekly subcutaneously (SC), and hydroxychloroquine. Dupilumab showed excellent clinical benefits, including safe and well-tolerated in chronic actinic dermatitis. Further studies are required to be carried out before being applied in clinical practice.
