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

Background: Acquired reactive perforating collagenosis (ARPC) is a clinically challenging disease with an unclear pathogenesis. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dupilumab for the treatment of ARPC, and analyze the expression of type 2 inflammation-related molecules in ARPC lesions. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 20 patients with ARPC; 10 received dupilumab and 10 received conventional therapy. The efficacy and safety of dupilumab were evaluated at 12 weeks. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence analyses of T- and B-cell markers, and type 2 inflammation-related cytokines, were performed on skin samples from ARPC patients, atopic dermatitis (AD) patients, and healthy controls. Results: Significantly more patients showed improvements in the Investigator Global Assessment score (100% vs. 0%; p < 0.0001) and itching (90%/8.33%, P =.001) in the dupilumab group compared to the conventional group at 12 weeks. There were no adverse effects in the dupilumab group. The ARPC lesions showed enhanced dermal infiltration of CD3+ T-cells, with a predominance of Th2 cells, similar to AD lesions. IL-4 and IL-13 were co-localized with GATA3 in ARPC lesions. Conclusion: Dupilumab improved ARPC charaterized with type 2 inflammation.
