Upadacitinib for Alopecia: Current Evidence and Clinical Insights.
Review in Skin appendage disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Upadacitinib, a selective Janus kinase (JAK) 1 inhibitor, has demonstrated promising efficacy in alopecia areata (AA), particularly in patients unresponsive to conventional therapies. As JAK inhibitors gain prominence, understanding upadacitinib's role in AA management is critical. Summary: This scoping review synthesizes data from 24 publications, including 64 AA patients treated with upadacitinib (15-45 mg daily). Most patients experience substantial or complete hair regrowth within 1-4 months. The most common AA subtypes include alopecia universalis ( Key Messages: (i) Upadacitinib demonstrates good efficacy in treating AA. (ii) Its safety profile supports potential off-label use. (iii) Larger studies are essential to validate current findings and optimize management.
