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

Linear scleroderma en coup de sabre (LSCS) is a clinical variant of morphea that presents with a linear alopecic patch over the frontal scalp. Linear alopecia areata may present as a close differential in the incipient stages of LSCS in the pediatric population, especially when the binding down and pigmentary changes characteristic of LSCS have not developed. Histopathology may also be noncontributory in such scenarios. We hereby report a case of linear alopecia in a 5-year-old Indian girl and highlight the role of trichoscopic evaluation in clinching the diagnosis. This emphasizes the importance of clinicodermoscopic-pathological correlation over clinicopathological correlation for cutaneous diagnosis.
