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

Background: Phase 3 PRIME/PRIME2 trials independently demonstrated efficacy and an acceptable safety profile of dupilumab adults with moderate-to-severe prurigo nodularis. Objective: To obtain a more precise estimate of onset and magnitude of treatment effect using PRIME/PRIME2 pooled data. Methods: In PRIME/PRIME2, patients were randomized to dupilumab or placebo for 24 weeks. Pooled analysis assessed proportion of patients achieving clinically meaningful improvement in itch, clear/almost-clear skin, or both; at weeks 12 and 24; overall and by demographic subgroups and changes from baseline to week 24 in symptoms, signs, and quality of life. Results: Patients receiving dupilumab ( Limitations: On-treatment data limited to 24 weeks. Conclusions: Pooled analysis confirmed improvements reported in individual trials and revealed earlier effect onset in itch and skin pain. Dupilumab treatment showed benefits across demographics.
