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: Acquired reactive perforating collagenosis (ARPC) poses a clinical challenge with an unclear pathogenesis. This disease has been frequently proven resistant to immunosuppressive treatments, significantly affecting the quality of life of patients. In this report, we highlight the efficacy of baricitinib as a viable option for maintenance therapy in ARPC. Case summary: An 81-year-old woman presented to our hospital with recurrent pruritus and cup-like ulcerated lesions on her trunk and limbs persisting for 1 year. She exhibited limited response to oral antihistamines and topical steroids. Past medical history revealed a prolonged history of coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes spanning several years to decades. Histopathological examination revealed cup-shaped depressions filled with necrotic inflammatory debris. In the dermis, a mixed inflammatory infiltrate composed of lymphocytes and histiocytes was observed. Van Gieson staining indicated the elimination of fibrous tissue extending from the dermis into the epidermis. Consequently, a diagnosis of ARPC was established. Due to the inadequate response to conventional treatments and the severe itching, we initiated baricitinib therapy for ARPC, resulting in gradual symptom improvement. Follow-up assessments showed no adverse reactions and normal laboratory findings. Conclusion: The case report suggests that baricitinib might offer significant therapeutic benefits for ARPC.
