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

We report a case of a 5-year-old girl with physical and psychomotor retardation, acquired microcephaly, and history of recurrent infections. Dermoscopic and microscopic hair examination revealed a "road-dividing line"-like pigmentation of hair shafts. The combination of history, clinical findings, and hair examination led to the diagnosis of Griscelli syndrome type II. The picture of "road-dividing line" on hair microscopic and dermoscopic examination is highly characteristic for Griscelli syndrome, and in this framework, dermatologic examination may be of high importance for the diagnosis.
