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

Dermatologists are often referred urgent cases of acral hematoma by general practitioners and sports medicine specialists for the purpose of excluding warts, nevi or melanoma. Acral hematoma is often a cause of anxiety to patients and their families. Here, we report a case of purpura traumatica pedis, referred to us as suspected plantar melanoma because of the finding of parallel-ridge pattern on dermatoscopic examination. To avoid unnecessary and costly procedures, doctors should inquire about any episode of physical exertion before the onset of purpura, recording the lesion's anatomic site (e.g., unilateral vs. bilateral involvement) and clinical features.
