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

Alopecia areata represents an autoimmune disease that specifically damages growing hair follicles on the scalp and/or around the body. Janus kinase inhibitors have been identified as an effective therapy in adult patients and topical formulations, such as Brevilin-A, might represent a well-tolerated treatment for mild-moderate disease in children and adolescents. The mechanism of action of Brevilin-A, a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Centipeda minima, could consist in blocking STAT3 and STAT1 signaling as well as the JAKs activity by inhibiting the JAKs tyrosine kinase domain JH1. We report our cases of successful application of Brevilin-A in pediatric patients, suggesting this treatment as a safe and effective therapeutic option also for recalcitrant alopecia areata in pediatric population.
