Impact of Achieving Optimal Treatment Targets and Minimal Disease Activity on Health-Related Quality of Life and Satisfaction in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis.
Article in Dermatology and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 7 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

Abstract
introductionGuidance from the Aiming Higher in Eczema/Atopic Dermatitis initiative identified moderate and optimal treatment targets for clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and defined minimal disease activity (MDA) as simultaneously meeting optimal targets in ClinRO and PRO. This post hoc analysis investigates the impact of achieving individual optimal targets or MDA on patient health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes in patients with atopic dermatitis.
methodsPatients from phase 3 Measure Up 1 (NCT03569293), Measure Up 2 (NCT03607422), and AD UP (NCT03568318) were randomized 1:1:1 to receive daily oral upadacitinib at either 15 mg or 30 mg, or placebo for the first 16 weeks. Patients were pooled for this analysis regardless of intervention and stratified into three mutually exclusive response groups meeting optimal, moderate, or neither treatment target for each ClinRO or PRO, and the achievement of MDA at week 16. Impact on the patient's HRQoL was measured across eight outcomes: itch, skin symptoms, quality of life, sleep, daily activities, emotional state, work productivity, and treatment satisfaction.
resultsPatients who achieved optimal treatment targets, compared with those achieving moderate or neither treatment target, reported greater improvement in patient HRQoL outcomes (1.1-20.2-fold for optimal versus moderate, 1.3 to > 50-fold for optimal versus neither target, and 1.2-16.3-fold for moderate versus neither target groups). In addition, patients who achieved MDA, versus those achieving optimal ClinRO or PRO alone, were more likely to report improved patient HRQoL outcomes.
conclusionsThese results highlight the value of reaching optimal treatment targets and MDA in disease management of atopic dermatitis.
