Quick Treatment of Very Severe Refractory Hand and Foot Eczema with Dupilumab: A Case Report and Literature Review.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Previously case reports showed dupilumab may benefit for hand eczema treatment, but relatively comprehensive assessments are lacking. A 45-year-old male with multiple severe vesicles, bullae and pustule on the palmar aspects of both hand and foot diagnosed dyshidrotic eczema by pathology was treated with dupilumab at an initial dose of 600 mg subcutaneously, followed by 300 mg every 2 weeks. The physician's assessment of the patient revealed an excellent response to the treatment with dupilumab; the lesions and symptoms achieved dramatic improvement on the third day, and at 6 weeks, the hands and feet became completely normal without relapse in the past 1.5 years of discontinuation. Systematic literature searches were performed, and 6 case reports, 5 case series, 2 prospective observational studies and 1 retrospective review with a total of 150 patients were identified to describing the evaluation of efficacy and safety of dupilumab treatment for hand and foot eczema. Dupilumab appears to be safe and well tolerated with clinical benefit in recalcitrant hand and foot eczema. Larger randomized controlled trials using validated outcome measures and detailed hand eczema type and population classification are needed before dupilumab can be applied in clinical settings.
