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

Acquired reactive perforating collagenosis (ARPC) is a rare perforating dermatosis linked to systemic diseases, with unclear pathogenesis and no standardized therapy. We report a 53-year-old male with ARPC who failed conventional treatments but improved rapidly with upadacitinib 15 mg/day for one month, followed by 15 mg every other day. After three months, most lesions resolved, leaving hyperpigmentation and scars. Literature review shows conflicting reports: one case of ARPC improved with upadacitinib, another developed ARPC during upadacitinib treatment for atopic dermatitis. Our findings suggest upadacitinib may be effective for ARPC, especially in pruritic patients, regardless of diabetes status.
