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

Background: This study compares the efficacy and safety of Abrocitinib, a Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor, and Dupilumab, an interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 inhibitor, in the treatment of Atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 136 patients with moderate to severe AD, treated with either Abrocitinib (n=60) or Dupilumab (n=76) from June 2022 to June 2024. Abrocitinib was administered at 100 mg/day orally, and Dupilumab at 300 mg subcutaneously every two weeks after a 600 mg loading dose. Primary outcome measures included serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, eosinophil (Egb) counts, and clinical symptom improvement, assessed by the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pruritus, and Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD). Quality of life was evaluated using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), while emotional distress was assessed through the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). The incidence of adverse reactions was also recorded. Statistical significance was determined using Results: Both treatments reduced IgE and eosinophil levels with no significant inter-group differences (p > 0.05). Abrocitinib was more effective in reducing pruritus, with a greater reduction in NRS scores (p < 0.05). EASI, SCORAD, DLQI, SAS and SDS improvements were similar, though Abrocitinib showed a greater reduction in anxiety (p = 0.011). The overall effective rate was higher in the Abrocitinib group (80.00%) compared to Dupilumab (69.73%) but not significantly (p = 0.174). Adverse reactions were minimal and comparable, with incidences of 8.33% for Abrocitinib and 9.21% for Dupilumab (p = 0.858). Conclusion: Both Abrocitinib and Dupilumab are effective and well-tolerated treatments for atopic dermatitis. While their overall efficacy and safety profiles are comparable, Abrocitinib offers superior relief of pruritus. Both therapies represent valuable options in the management of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
