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

introductionIchthyosis is a group of keratinizing diseases characterized by scaly and dry skin. One of the ocular complications associated with ichthyosis is cicatricial ectropion which often results in exposure keratopathy and eventually corneal scarring. PRESENTATION OF CASE: In this report we are presenting a 21-year-old female who is known to have ichthyosis-related bilateral lower lid cicatricial ectropion, which was managed with Mucous Membrane Grafting (MMG) six years ago. DISCUSSION: Despite the serious complications of ichthyosis-related eyelid malposition such as cicatricial ectropion, until present no single way has been standardized to treat the ectropion in these patients. MMG has been previously described, but up to our knowledge this is the first reported long term follow up of MMG offered for ichthyosis-related cicatricial ectropion.

conclusionWe strongly recommend MMG as a promising surgical treatment option offered for ichthyosis patients with cicatricial ectropion providing good outcome and acceptable cosmetic results.
