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

Phaeohyphomycosis is a rare infection caused by dematiaceous fungi containing melanin in their cell wall. Patients are often immunocompromised, and cases seen in immunocompromised hosts have increased in recent years. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody against interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) used for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, has been linked to hypersensitivity reactions resulting in facial redness, and there is growing evidence that dupilumab may increase susceptibility to yeast infections as well. We present a case of trauma-induced cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in an immunocompetent host on dupilumab. As dupilumab becomes more commonly encountered in practice, this case is meant to explore the potential relationship between dupilumab and predisposition to opportunistic fungal infections.
