A Case of Intense Pulsed Light Aggravated Rosacea Successfully Treated by Abrocitinib.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by facial erythema, papules, pustules, telangiectasia, and flushing. Currently, various treatment options are available, but no definitive cure has been established. Phototherapy is primarily effective for treating telangiectatic rosacea because it helps alleviate erythema and telangiectasia. However, it can also pose risks; when applied inappropriately, phototherapy may worsen rosacea symptoms, making the condition more difficult to manage. This case report presents a patient with rosacea who experienced acute exacerbation after intense pulsed light therapy, characterized by persistent erythema, edema, pustules, exudation, and a burning sensation with pain. Subsequent treatment with oral abrocitinib for 12 weeks led to a gradual resolution of the patient's facial symptoms. Therefore, we hypothesized that the oral JAK-1 inhibitor abrocitinib not only serves as a promising new treatment option for rosacea but also offers therapeutic benefits in cases of inappropriate phototherapy.
