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.

Abstract

introductionThe treat-to-target concept established goals to guide treatment with systemic therapies in atopic dermatitis (AD), including goals for itch improvement, reported as the most burdensome symptom. The aim of this study is to assess optimal itch response onset and long-term maintenance using treat-to-target criteria in dupilumab-treated patients.

methodsThis post hoc analysis assessed patients ≥ 18 years with moderate-to-severe AD in two phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. Patients received dupilumab 300 mg every 2 weeks or placebo with concomitant topical corticosteroids (TCS) for 52 weeks (CHRONOS); or dupilumab monotherapy 300 mg every week/every 2 weeks/every 4 weeks/every 8 weeks or placebo for 36 weeks after achieving Eczema Area and Severity Index improvement of 75% or Investigator's Global Assessment 0/1 with dupilumab in SOLO1/2 (SOLO-CONTINUE). Optimal itch response was defined as Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale ≤ 4.

resultsPatients receiving dupilumab + TCS achieved optimal itch response faster and in higher proportion than those receiving placebo + TCS (P < 0.0001) and maintained optimal response longer (median [Q1-Q3] 40 [11-50] vs 3 [0-23] weeks; P < 0.0001). Patients achieving optimal itch response with dupilumab monotherapy who continued treatment maintained response longer compared with those transitioned to placebo, although duration decreased with less frequent dosing (P < 0.0001 for all dupilumab regimens vs placebo).

conclusionOptimal itch response was achieved rapidly and maintained long term in adult patients treated with dupilumab with or without concomitant TCS therapy.
