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

introductionPrurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis with severe, persistent pruritus and limited effective therapies. Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition has emerged as a targeted strategy for PN.

methodsThis phase I/II, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, multicenter clinical trial was conducted in China to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of topical 1.5% ruxolitinib gel (HDM3010) in adults with PN. Adult patients with PN were randomized 2:1 to receive HDM3010 or vehicle, administered once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID), during a 4-week double-blind treatment period.

resultsForty-nine patients were randomized. HDM3010 demonstrated a safety profile characterized by treatment-emergent adverse events in 18.8% of QD and 25.0% of BID patients, compared with 12.5% of vehicle QD and 55.6% of vehicle BID patients. Treatment-related adverse events were infrequent (4.1%) and limited to mild-to-moderate severity. Pharmacokinetic analyses showed low systemic exposure, with mean peak plasma concentrations below 7 ng/mL at steady state. Compared with vehicle, HDM3010 was associated with higher proportions of ≥ 4-point Worst Itch Numerical Rating Scale (WI-NRS) responders and greater improvements in WI-NRS, Investigator's Global Assessment for Prurigo Nodularis-Stage (IGA PN-S), and Investigator's Global Assessment for Prurigo Nodularis-Activity (IGA PN-A) scores.

conclusionsHDM3010 demonstrated a favorable safety profile, minimal systemic exposure, and positive trends in reducing pruritus and lesions in adults with PN.
