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

Purpose: To characterize clinical outcomes of abrocitinib in patients with coexistent psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD)/eczema and to synthesize published case-level evidence on Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors and other biologic strategies for this overlap phenotype. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed three adults with psoriasis and concurrent eczema/AD-like dermatitis treated with abrocitinib, with outcomes assessed using PASI, SCORAD/IGA, and PP-NRS. A structured search of MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science (inception to 31 December 2025) identified eligible reports describing clinically diagnosed psoriasis-eczema/AD overlap treated with JAK inhibitors or biologic agents, with independent screening and de-duplication. Results: Two patients receiving abrocitinib 100 mg/day achieved marked improvement, and one patient refractory to upadacitinib 30 mg/day improved after switching to abrocitinib 200 mg/day; no treatment-related adverse events were observed, and one patient had no recurrence during >4 months of follow-up. In the literature synthesis, 16 JAK inhibitor-treated cases (abrocitinib, upadacitinib, baricitinib) showed consistent clinical benefit, with PASI decreasing from 9-25.9 to 0-3.2 and SCORAD/EASI decreasing from 24.6-71.1 to 0-30.4, and no adverse events reported. Nine cases treated with other biologics also improved (PASI 9.1-35 to 3-7.2; SCORAD/EASI 19.4-59 to 0-9.4), with conjunctivitis reported in one dual-biologic case. Conclusion: Systemic JAK inhibition may offer an integrated option for psoriasis with coexisting eczema/AD, enabling concurrent lesion and symptom control with favorable short-term tolerability. Larger prospective studies with standardized diagnostic confirmation and harmonized outcome reporting are required to clarify long-term safety, durability, and optimal positioning versus biologic regimens.
