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

backgroundThis is a retrospective study evaluating the incidence, clinical characteristics, and risk factors of dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease (DAOSD) in a local Asian Chinese population. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective study of patients prescribed dupilumab for AD between January 2020 and May 2025 at a regional hospital. DAOSD was defined as new-onset ocular surface symptoms post-treatment. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, binary logistic regression (age, sex, scoring atopic dermatitis (SCORAD), treatment duration/dosage), and Fisher's exact test for categorical variables (IBM SPSS v22, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY).

resultsOf 43 included patients (mean age: <25 years, 83.7%; mean treatment duration: 418 days), 11 (25.6%) developed DAOSD (mean onset: 1.67 months). Symptoms were mild (itching, 8, 81.8%; redness, 5, 45.5%; dry eye, 4, 36.4%); 10 (90.9%) required only topical lubricants/antihistamines. No patients discontinued dupilumab due to DAOSD. Logistic regression showed no significant associations between DAOSD and age, sex, SCORAD, dosage, or duration (

conclusionsThe incidence of DAOSD in this Asian cohort was slightly lower than that in Caucasian populations, with predominantly mild symptoms. Prior allergic eye disease may confer protection against DAOSD, possibly due to prophylactic ocular therapies. Larger studies are needed to validate these findings.
