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

This case report is a representative example from a study directed to assess the long-term clinical benefit of dobesilate in rosacea in five enrolled papulopustular rosacea patients with several years of disease, treated topically with 5% potassium dobesilate cream for 3 weeks. The patient suffered papulopustular rosacea for more than 10 years, during which she received topical metronidazole and azelaic acid, and systemic doxycycline therapies without satisfactory improvement. Dobesilate treatment promoted improvement of rosacea symptoms and signs. Two years after treatment the patient still shows a good facial cosmesis.
