Case Report: Effective treatment of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa with tofacitinib.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of hereditary skin diseases caused by mutations in structural proteins at the dermal-epidermal junction. Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), one of its main types, is characterized by recurrent pruritic blisters, bullae, atrophy, and scarring, often accompanied by nail dystrophy. Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa, also known as epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa (EBP), is a rare clinical subtype of DEB. In addition to the common manifestations of skin blisters and ulcers, patients with EBP also present severe pruritus. Traditional treatments for EBP have limited efficacy. In this study, we report the case of a 59-year-old male patient with EBP who showed significant improvement in skin lesions and pruritus after 10 months of treatment with tofacitinib, a pan-JAK inhibitor. This case highlights the potential of JAK inhibitors in treating EBP, although long-term safety requires further investigation.
