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

Dupilumab has recently been recognized as a potential trigger for drug-induced sarcoid-like reactions (DISR). This phenomenon may become more prevalent with increased utilization of this drug for a multitude of skin and atopic conditions. We present a unique case of a patient developing a solitary cutaneous nodule on her left forearm following dupilumab initiation. Histopathology and MRI studies confirmed that this nodule had features of a sarcoid granuloma. Six months following dupilumab discontinuation, the patient's granuloma resolved. This case demonstrates that dupilumab can induce cutaneous-limited autoimmune disease and stresses the importance of prompt recognition of dupilumab-induced sarcoid-like reactions for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
