Hyperpigmented Upper Eyelid: A Clue to the Diagnosis of Facial Lichen Planus Pigmentosus in a Patient with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.
Article in Skin appendage disorders, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Facial lichen planus pigmentosus (LPPig), a rare variant of classic lichen planus, was first described in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) by Dlova [Br J Dermatol 2013; 168: 439-442] in 2013. The diagnosis of facial LPPig is sometimes not easy, since clinical signs and histopathological features may frequently be confused with melasma or postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. We describe a case of a postmenopausal black woman diagnosed with FFA who presented with an identical brown-grayish pigmentation of the face and upper eyelids and typical dermoscopy analysis on both regions. We suggest that the hyperpigmentation of the upper eyelid with typical LLPig dermoscopy (upper eyelid sign) may be a clue for the diagnosis of LPPig and may avoid a scar-causing face biopsy.
