Oral Deucravacitinib for Treatment-Refractory Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
This case report describes a 66-year-old female patient with a history of treatment-resistant chronic cutaneous lupus and discoid lupus (DL) for 25 years. The patient failed traditional antimalarial therapies for cutaneous lupus and other systemic and topical treatments, including azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, and dapsone. The patient was started on deucravacitinib at a daily dose of 6 mg and showed resolution of active lesions at five months, with post-inflammatory hypopigmentation at sites of previous lesions. The patient showed clinical resolution at eight months after starting deucravacitinib. Deucravacitinib is an allosteric inhibitor of TYK2, an enzyme within the JAK/STAT pathway, and may represent a novel therapy in the treatment of cutaneous lupus through the inhibition of type I interferon signal propagation. Further studies of deucravacitinib, including longitudinal evaluation, should be conducted to determine effectiveness within this patient population.
