Photodermatoses: diagnosis and treatment.
Review in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01927679 (Effect of Vitamin E in the Prevention of Visible Light Induced Pigmentation), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 papers.
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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundSunlight induces a wide variety of dermatoses. Their differential diagnosis is problematic not only because of similar phenotypes, but also because of confusing nomenclature and classification.
methodsWe selectively reviewed the literature of the past 20 years and describe the modern nosology of photodermatoses and their clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment. Readers should be able to provide correct and efficient diagnostic evaluation and treatment of patients with dermatoses induced by ultraviolet radiation.
resultsPhotodermatoses are caused by an abnormal reaction to sunlight, usually to its ultraviolet component. They are divided into phototoxic and photoallergic reactions to known photosensitizers and idiopathic photodermatoses, in which the photosensitizer is unknown. Some types are extremely rare, such as hydroa vacciniforme (prevalence 0.34 per 100,000), while others are very common, such as polymorphic light eruption (prevalence 10% to 20%).
conclusionPhotodermatoses are not life-threatening but can cause considerable suffering. Prevention is just as important as treatment.
