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

Disseminated granuloma annulare (DGA) is an inflammatory skin disorder characterized by more than 10 erythematous, raised, ring-shaped plaques. Its treatment remains challenging, with conventional therapies showing variable efficacy. We report the case of a woman in her 50s with a 2-year history of DGA refractory to multiple treatments. Given the recent evidence of the role of the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway in the granuloma annulare pathophysiology, treatment with upadacitinib 30 mg per day was started with rapid effectiveness and good tolerance. This case underscores the potential of JAK inhibitors as promising therapeutic options for recalcitrant granuloma annulare.
