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

backgroundTapinarof cream 1% is an aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat atopic dermatitis (AD) in patients down to age 2 years.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of tapinarof cream 1% once daily (QD) in adolescents and children with extensive AD under maximal usage conditions.

methodsPatients with a validated Investigator Global Assessment scale for Atopic Dermatitis™ (vIGA-AD™) score ≥ 3 and body surface area (BSA) involvement ≥ 25% (ages 12-17 years) or ≥ 35% (ages 2-11 years) were enrolled into three age cohorts (2-6, 7-11, and 12-17 years) and received tapinarof cream 1% QD for 4 weeks.

resultsOverall, 36 patients (12 per cohort) were enrolled; mean BSA affected was 42.8% (range 26.0-90.0) and mean Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score was 23.8. At baseline, 28 patients (77.8%) had a vIGA-AD™ score of 3 (moderate). No-to-minimal tapinarof systemic exposure was observed (25% of post-treatment plasma samples were below the quantifiable limit of a highly sensitive assay [< 50 pg/mL]). Mean maximum plasma concentration (C

conclusionTapinarof cream exhibits highly favorable safety and pharmacokinetics in adolescents and children down to age 2 years with extensive AD.
