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 of reviewAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease involving Th2 cytokine-driven inflammation. AD patients are at risk of developing conjunctivitis, including atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC), a sight-threatening chronic allergic eye disease involving both Th2 and Th1/17 cytokine-driven inflammation.In AD, dupilumab is highly effective by inhibiting interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13. However, some AD patients develop dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease (DAOSD), an AKC-like disease. There are no biomarkers to predict who will develop DAOSD. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent findings in AD and AKC suggesting different immunopathogenic mechanisms are involved. RECENT

findingsA recent proteomics study of tear fluids identified raised inflammatory markers ( n  = 31) in AD patients with DAOSD ( n  = 22) and a shift towards a Th1/17 profile. Alternative biologics have been investigated for treating moderate-to-severe AD which have fewer ocular side-effects. The inhibitory effects of dupilumab cause an associated upregulation of IL-33 which could lead to an AKC-like disease. A recent therapeutic approach in AD via regulatory T cells suggests a novel treatment for those at risk of DAOSD. SUMMARY: Ocular side-effects of dupilumab suggest that the immunopathogenic pathways in moderate-to-severe AD and AKC are not the same and, for DAOSD, might require different treatment approaches.
