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

backgroundWhile the majority of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) achieve disease control with dupilumab treatment, there is variability in which patients achieve clear disease. The predictors of these responses are currently unclear. Integrated models were developed to evaluate the exposure-response (E-R) relationship of dupilumab in children, adolescents, and adults with AD.

methodsData from six Phase II and III clinical studies were pooled (2,366 adults [> 18 years], 243 adolescents [≥ 12 to < 18 years] and 359 children [≥ 6 to < 12 years]) for model development. Efficacy was assessed using the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) and Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA). Indirect response models were applied to link measures of efficacy and functional serum dupilumab concentrations. The covariates on individual placebo-corrected response were assessed. Clinical trial scenarios were simulated to compare E-R relationships across age groups. Safety was not explored.

resultsAfter correcting for differences in placebo response and dupilumab exposure: 1) older age, higher body weight, lower baseline thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, and Asian race were associated with slightly lower EASI response, and no clear covariates were identified on IGA response; 2) clinical trial simulations generally showed slightly higher response at a given dupilumab concentration in children compared to adults and adolescents with severe and moderate AD.

conclusionsThe collectively tested covariates explain some of the variability in dupilumab response in patients with AD. Patients in all age groups showed adequate response to dupilumab; however, children showed slightly higher drug effects compared to adults and adolescents at equivalent concentrations.
