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

Subungual pigmentation may have a variety of underlying pathologies, but clinicians should consider malignancies such as subungual melanoma or metastasis, even if they are not common. A delayed diagnosis can dramatically worsen the prognosis. Therefore, histologic examination is highly recommended. We present a 75-year-old female cancer patient presenting with subungual blackish pigmentation of the great toe nail for several years suspicious of a subungual melanoma even by dermoscopy. Nail avulsion and histological investigations excluded melanoma. The final diagnosis was subungual hematoma with growth malalignment of the great toe nail.
