Baricitinib in the Management of Severe Alopecia Areata: A Report of Two Cases With Sustained Clinical Response.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Baricitinib has recently received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a promising treatment option for adults with severe alopecia areata. Beyond this indication, it has demonstrated efficacy in other conditions such as COVID-19 and rheumatoid arthritis. The drug also presents advantages related to cost, minimal invasiveness, and the absence of postoperative management. Nevertheless, its prescription requires careful consideration of potential safety and clinical implications before widespread use. We describe two patients with severe alopecia areata (baseline Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score = 100), who were treated with baricitinib as an alternative to conventional therapies, both of whom showed favorable outcomes with a progressive reduction in SALT score leading to complete regrowth during a 12-month follow-up period.
