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

introductionTralokinumab, a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that inhibits the IL-13 pathway, is approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. However, real-world data are lacking and are needed to inform its efficacy and safety in broader populations.

methodsThis retrospective study reviewed the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) at baseline and 16-20 weeks of 39 consecutive patients who received subcutaneous tralokinumab at the label dose in a tertiary centre.

resultsTwenty-nine out of 39 patients had an EASI score recorded after 16-20 weeks. At 16-20 weeks, 65.5% (19/29) of patients achieved EASI 50, 37.9% (11/29) achieved EASI 75, and 27.8% (9/29) achieved EASI 90. DLQI was reduced by an average of - 10.4 points at 16-20 weeks. No serious adverse events were reported. Ocular adverse events were reported in 25.6% (10/39) of the cohort but did not lead to treatment discontinuation. Six out of seven patients that previously experienced conjunctivitis with dupilumab had no recurrence with tralokinumab.

conclusionOur study supports using tralokinumab in atopic dermatitis with similar real-world efficacy to that shown in clinical trials. Tralokinumab offers an alternative for patients failing dupilumab because of conjunctivitis.
