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

Prurigo simplex and prurigo nodularis are chronic, pruritic dermatoses with complex, cytokine-driven immunopathogenesis involving the JAK1-STAT signaling pathway. Real-world data on abrocitinib, a selective oral JAK1 inhibitor, in refractory pruritic dermatoses remain limited in the Indian population. Herein, we report four patients with prurigo spectrum disorders who were unresponsive to conventional therapies. Abrocitinib (100-200 mg once daily) resulted in rapid improvement in pruritus, followed by reduction in clinical lesions, including flattening of prurigo-like nodules, decreased pigmentation, and overall improvement in quality of life. No major adverse events were observed. These findings suggest that abrocitinib monotherapy may be an effective and well-tolerated option for refractory prurigo, warranting further evaluation in larger studies.
