A Post Hoc Analysis of Efficacy Data on Sarecycline in Hispanics with Acne from Two Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trials.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Sarecycline is a novel, narrow-spectrum, third generation tetracycline class antibiotic approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne in patients ages nine and older. Recently, focus has increased on whether treatment responses differ in acne in skin of color. Here, we aimed to analyze the efficacy of using sarecycline in Hispanics. We report pooled post hoc analysis of efficacy data on sarecycline in Hispanics with acne from two phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials, SC1401 and SC1402. Of 2002 patients in the pooled trials with moderate-to-severe acne, 26.9% were Hispanic. Facial inflammatory lesion counts decreased as early as week 3 by 26% (p = 0.0279), with continued reduction by 41% by week 6 (p = 0.0003), by 51% by week 9 (p < 0.0001), and by 55% by week 12 (p < 0.0001). Acne is the most common skin condition diagnosed in Hispanics, and this study illustrates a statistically significant reduction in acne in Hispanic patients with moderate-to-severe acne treated with oral sarecycline. Therefore, oral sarecycline shows promising results as a safe and effective treatment for acne in Hispanics.
