1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTirbanibulin is an approved topical treatment for actinic keratosis (AK). This non-interventional study investigated effectiveness and safety of tirbanibulin for AK. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe prospective KLIR-study was conducted at 58 German dermatology centers (02/2022-09/2023). Patients received tirbanibulin once daily for 5 consecutive days. Lesion count reduction, clearance rates, safety, and treatment satisfaction were assessed at day 57 (visit 3) after treatment. Visits on days 0, 8-29, and 240 allowed for the evaluation of baseline data, local skin reaction (LSR) peaks, and lesion recurrence, respectively.

resultsIn total, 545 AK patients were included in the study. The mean number of AK lesions decreased from 5.9 (baseline) to 1.9 at visit 3, representing a 70% lesion count reduction (p < 0.0001). Clearance rates at visit 3 were 37.4% (complete clearance) and 55.0% (partial clearance ≥ 75% reduction). Among patients with complete clearance at visit 3, 21.9% experienced recurrent AK lesions at visit 4. The majority of LSRs were mild or moderate. Erythema (97.6%) was the most common LSR. Overall, 91.5% of patients rated their AK lesions as improved and 99% would consider future tirbanibulin treatment ("definitely", "certainly", "probably", "maybe").

conclusionsTirbanibulin showed high lesion clearance and a high level of acceptance in real-life conditions.
