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

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a clinically heterogeneous immune-mediated skin disorder. The lack of reliable clinical stratification tools and predictive biomarkers for therapeutic response remains a critical unmet need to optimize treatment and advance precision dermatology. Objective: To investigate the association between genetic variants and AD phenotypes and response to Dupilumab as a potential approach to individualize therapy in moderate-to-severe AD. Methods: 120 patients with moderate-to-severe AD treated with Dupilumab were enrolled at two Italian centers. Clinical data, including phenotypes, severity, and comorbidities, were collected at baseline and after 48 weeks treatment with Dupilumab. Its efficacy was assessed as EASI75 and EASI90 achievements at week 48. Genotyping of 521 SNPs was performed using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Cluster analysis and univariate logistic regression explored associations between genetic profiles and clinical variables. Results: NGS-based genotyping enabled the stratification of patients into four distinct genetic clusters, each characterized by unique combinations of polymorphisms in skin barrier-related genes, namely Conclusions: This study identified genetic signatures in skin barrier and Th2 pathway genes associated with clinical phenotypes and differential responses to Dupilumab in AD. Findings support incorporating genotypic profiling into practice to guide personalized therapy in moderate-to-severe AD.
