Successful treatment of concomitant alopecia universalis and Crohn's disease with upadacitinib: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Alopecia areata is a non-scarring, autoimmune hair loss disorder that is associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Alopecia areata and inflammatory bowel disease may have a common pathogenic mechanism that involves the Janus kinase/STAT pathway. In addition, there are previous case reports of patients who developed alopecia areata while on biologic therapies for inflammatory bowel disease. JAK1 inhibitors are currently undergoing investigation as potential therapies for Crohn's disease. Upadacitinib, an oral JAK1 inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in treating Crohn's disease during phase III clinical trials. In this case report, we present a 23-year-old man with Crohn's disease who previously developed alopecia areata while on adalimumab. He had near-complete resolution of his alopecia universalis after 7 months of treatment with upadacitinib while on concurrent ustekinumab for Crohn's disease, which he had been taking for 16 months prior to starting upadacitinib. Upadacitinib may be a beneficial therapy for treating concomitant alopecia areata and Crohn's disease.
