Long-Term Integrated Safety Summary of Ruxolitinib Cream in Phase 3 Clinical Trials of Patients with Vitiligo.
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 4 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.

Abstract
introductionRuxolitinib cream demonstrated superior repigmentation versus vehicle at week 24 with continued improvement through week 104 in phase 3 studies of patients (aged ≥ 12 years) with nonsegmental vitiligo. Here, we evaluated long-term safety of ruxolitinib cream in an integrated analysis of phase 3 vitiligo studies.
methodsReported incidence and exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were determined.
resultsOver 104 weeks, 673 patients with vitiligo applied either ruxolitinib cream (n = 637; 867.9 person-years [PY]) or vehicle (n = 270; 131.1 PY). TEAEs (EAIR, patients/100 PY) with ruxolitinib cream versus vehicle occurred in 62.6% (46.0) versus 37.0% (76.3) of patients, most commonly nasopharyngitis (7.2% [5.3] vs 2.6% [5.3]) and application site acne (6.0% [4.4] vs 1.1% [2.3]). No serious treatment-related TEAEs were reported with ruxolitinib cream. EAIRs (patients/100 PY) were low for acne-related TEAEs (7.1), skin and subcutaneous tissue infections (4.0), cytopenias (2.4), and liver enzyme elevations (2.2). Malignancies, serious infections, and thromboembolic events were rare (0.7, 0.5, and 0.2 patients/100 PY, respectively), and none were considered related to treatment. No major adverse cardiovascular events or deaths occurred.
conclusionRuxolitinib cream demonstrated tolerability, with no unexpected safety findings through 2 years in patients with vitiligo. Graphical Plain Language Summary available for this article.
