Successful Treatment of Refractory Generalized Granuloma Annulare with Upadacitinib.
Article in Case reports in dermatological medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Granuloma annulare is a poorly understood dermatosis that, when generalized, can occur in up to 15 percent of patients. In these cases, treatment is frustrating and experimental. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman and a 41-year-old woman who demonstrated resolution of recalcitrant, generalized granuloma annulare (GA) following oral treatment with upadacitinib. After showing little to no response to other various treatments, such as steroids, antibiotic regimens, and systemic therapies, each patient was started on 15 mg of daily upadacitinib. At 2 months, one patient had complete clearance of all lesions while the other patient experienced noticeable improvement. Within 4 months, the other patient reached total resolution of her lesions. These cases provide evidence of a therapeutic option that may shorten disease duration and provide relief from cutaneous disease.
