Quantitative assessment of skin disorders induced by panitumumab: a prospective observational study.
Observational study in Cancer chemotherapy and pharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeAcneiform rash is frequently observed in patients undergoing cancer treatment with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody drugs and can often necessitate treatment discontinuation. However, the specific changes in skin parameters resulting from anti-EGFR antibody drug administration are poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to longitudinally and quantitatively evaluate the changes in skin parameters (transepidermal water loss [TEWL], hydration level, and sebum level) caused by anti-EGFR antibody drugs and investigate their potential as control markers for skin disorders.
methodsThis prospective study included 12 patients with colorectal cancer who received anti-EGFR antibody drugs for the first time. The assessment items included the grade of acneiform rash and skin parameters (TEWL, hydration level, and sebum level), which were observed for up to 6 weeks after administration of the medication.
resultsThe enrolled patients were classified into two groups based on the grade of acneiform rash caused by anti-EGFR antibody drugs: "Grade 1 and lower," and "Grade 2 and higher." The skin parameters were compared between these groups. The results showed that in the "Grade 2 and higher" group, TEWL in the face (at week 2 of administration), chest (baseline, weeks 2 and 6 of administration), and back (at week 2 of administration) were significantly higher than those in the "Grade 1 and lower" group. However, the two groups showed no significant differences in hydration or sebum levels at any time point.
conclusionTEWL can serve as a marker for acneiform rashes induced by anti-EGFR antibody drugs during cancer treatment.
