Tofacitinib for Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 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
Purpose: At present, we have entered the era of using biological agents and small molecule targeted drugs to treat diseases. Although there have been many reports of biological agents treating pityriasis rubra pilaris recently, the clinical application of the JAK inhibitors in the treatment of pityriasis rubra pilaris has been rarely reported, and there is a lack of evidence on the safety and efficacy of these drugs. We explore the use of the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib in the treatment of pityriasis rubra pilaris with significant efficacy and no significant side effects, providing new ideas for the clinical treatment of pityriasis rubra pilaris. Methods: We cover a case of pityriasis rubra pilaris treated with the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib, which showed significant efficacy without any adverse effects. Results: This case report showed that the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib had significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of pityriasis rubra pilaris. We speculated that the treatment of pityriasis rubra pilaris with the JAK inhibitors may be related to blocking the activation of the JAK/STAT pathway, thereby blocking the high expression of cytokines IL-17, IL-12/IL-23, IL-23, TNF-α. Conclusion: The JAK inhibitor tofacitinib can become a new option for treating pityriasis rubra pilaris.
