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

Introduction: Dupilumab is the first biological treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD). Dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease (DAOSD) is one of the most commonly reported side effects in patients with AD during dupilumab treatment. This study aimed to identify risk factors for DAOSD in a real-world setting and construct a risk-scoring system for predicting DAOSD risk. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted for dupilumab-treated adult patients with AD between April 2019 and September 2023 at Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital in Korea. Patients aged ≥18 years who received dupilumab to treat AD were included. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine independent risk factors for DAOSD. A risk scoring system was constructed to predict DAOSD risk based on the adjusted odd ratios of significant variables. Results: Of the 97 dupilumab-treated patients, 28 (28.9%) developed DAOSD. Among them, three (10.7%) patients discontinued dupilumab due to ocular side effects. In the multivariable analysis, older age, history of conjunctivitis, and a baseline Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score ≥28 were independent risk factors for developing DAOSD. Using these variables, a risk-scoring system was constructed. The predicted DAOSD risks for AD patients with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 points were 5.8%, 14.2%, 30.7%, 54.3%, 76.2%, and 89.6%, respectively. Conclusion: In this study, the patient's age, history of conjunctivitis, and higher baseline EASI score were significantly associated with DAOSD. This risk-scoring system would help identify high-risk patients requiring more caution when initiating dupilumab treatment.
