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

Atopic dermatitis (AD) can be subclassified into the more frequent extrinsic type (EAD), with elevated serum IgE levels and frequent association with other atopic conditions, and the less frequent intrinsic type (IAD), with normal IgE levels and no history of atopy. This retrospective study has the objective to compare the efficacy of dupilumab therapy in patients with IAD versus EAD in a real-life setting. We studied a group of 360 patients treated with dupilumab for moderate-to-severe AD of whom 49 had IAD (IgE < 200 kU/L and no history of other atopic conditions) and 311 had EAD (IgE ≥ 200 kU/L and/or history of atopy). There were no statistically significant differences in the achievement of EASI75 between IAD and EAD patients either at 16, 32, or 48 weeks (61% vs. 50%; 66% vs. 60%; and 53% vs. 65%, respectively). Similarly, there were no statistically significant differences in the achievement of EASI90 or the reduction in NRSpp, NRSsd, and DLQI at each timepoint. Additionally, mean absolute eosinophils and IgE values were significantly higher in the EAD group at all timepoints. This study confirms that dupilumab, targeting the Th2 pathway, which is known to be overexpressed in all AD phenotypes, appears to be equally effective in the two populations regardless of IgE levels.
