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, a monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-4/13 signaling pathway, effectively treats moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Common side effects include injection site reactions, conjunctivitis, and respiratory infections. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with severe AD involving the periocular and chin regions, genital areas, arms, and legs (Eczema Area and Severity Index [EASI]: 24, itch Visual Analog Scale [VAS]: 8) who showed significant improvement after initiating dupilumab therapy. However, following ketoprofen intake for headache relief, she developed a lupus-like erythematous maculopapular rash on the periocular and malar regions. Immunological tests (antinuclear antibody [ANA] and extractable nuclear antigen [ENA]) and photopatch testing ruled out autoimmune or allergic causes. Dupilumab was stopped, and treatment with oral prednisone and cetirizine led to complete resolution. This case highlights a potential drug interaction between dupilumab and ketoprofen, emphasizing the need for awareness of paradoxical facial erythema reactions in patients undergoing dupilumab therapy.
