Inflammatory and fibrotic biomarkers in patients with atopic dermatitis treated with cendakimab.
Article in The journal of allergy and clinical immunology. Global, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04800315 (A Phase 2, Multicenter, Global, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Cendakimab), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background: Cendakimab is a recombinant, humanized, high-affinity, neutralizing monoclonal antibody that targets IL-13, a cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). Objective: We evaluated the pharmacodynamic effects of IL-13 inhibition by cendakimab on key serum inflammatory and fibrotic biomarkers in patients with AD. Methods: In the phase 2 (NCT04800315) multicenter, global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial, adults with moderate-to-severe AD received cendakimab 360 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks, 720 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks, 720 mg subcutaneously weekly, or placebo for 16 weeks. Blood samples were collected, and a panel of biomarkers was assessed in serum predose on day 1 (baseline), weeks 1 and 2, and then every 2 weeks until week 16. The study analyzed eotaxin-3 with an assay (V-PLEX Plus Human Eotaxin-3 Kit from Meso Scale Diagnostics), periostin using ELISA assay (R&D Systems DuoSet ELISA, DY3548B, and DY008), and other biomarkers, including IL-18, matrix metalloproteinase 12, thymus and activation-regulated chemokine/chemokine C-C motif ligand 17 (CCL17), CCL18, and CCL27 using Olink Target 96 panels. Least squares mean percentage change from baseline was evaluated for each group through week 16. Results: For all 3 doses of cendakimab, there was a significant decrease from baseline in the levels of most inflammatory and fibrotic biomarkers as early as weeks 1 to 4 after treatment and continued through week 16 of cendakimab treatment. Compared with placebo, cendakimab resulted in significantly greater reductions in these biomarker levels through week 16. Conclusion: Cendakimab decreased levels of key inflammatory and fibrotic biomarkers over 16 weeks of treatment in patients with moderate-to-severe AD.
