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

For decades, topical corticosteroids have been the mainstay of treatment for mild-to-moderate inflammatory skin diseases, even though only short-term use is approved for these agents and systemic inflammation is not addressed. Increased understanding of the immunopathogenesis of these conditions, especially for psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, has facilitated the development of antibody-based drugs that neutralize single key cytokines or their associated receptors, such as interleukin (IL)-17A/F, IL-23, and IL-17RA in psoriasis and IL-13 and IL-4Rα in atopic dermatitis. However, oral therapy is still preferred by many patients owing to the ease of use and needle-free administration. Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors have been approved for both oral and topical use for inflammatory skin diseases. In this review, we present a summary of an emerging class of selective PDE4B/D inhibitors under clinical development and compare the differences in selectivity of this new generation of PDE4 inhibitors with the less selective currently approved PDE4 inhibitors.
