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

Ritlecitinib is an orally bioavailable, small molecule that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a once-daily oral treatment option for people 12 years of age and older with severe alopecia areata. This article assessed the exposure-response (ER) relationship of eyebrow and eyelash assessment (EBA/ELA) scores on ritlecitinib and compared them to the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score (primary endpoint) ER relationship on ritlecitinib. EBA and ELA both are numeric rating scales (NRS) with four levels (0 the most severe, 3 the normal). Longitudinal ER modeling with ordinal regression was conducted to describe ritlecitinib efficacy regarding the hair regrowth in eyebrows and eyelashes separately. The average concentration in the time interval between two adjacent EBA/ELA records was used as the exposure metric. The developed models described the longitudinal EBA/ELA profile and the responder rates adequately. The ER models and the model-based simulations implied that the tested doses in the phase IIb/III clinical trial are in the ascending region, but the magnitude of loading dose effect on earlier efficacy is different across the efficacy endpoints of EBA, ELA, and SALT scores (which could be explained by the estimated
