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

The current management of vitiligo remains challenging; however, different strategies can be proposed to patients with a good efficacy in many cases. First, it is important to identify patients in the active phase of the disease because treatment should start as soon as possible to halt its progression. For patients with a stable disease, the treatment strategy is now well-stratified and is based on a combination of phototherapy (natural or in a cabin) and topical immunomodulatory agents. Surgical treatments are useful for localized and stable vitiligo, as well as for segmental vitiligo. Depigmentation remains indicated in very extensive forms. The recent approval of topical ruxolitinib cream in both the US and Europe brings new approaches for the management of vitiligo and paves the way for the development of new topical or oral targeted drugs.
