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

introductionAnogenital area is a small compartment in the human body. Recognition of various dermatological conditions affecting this area in children is essential for any physician involved in pediatric examination and evaluation.

aimTo assess the nature, diagnoses, and gender differences of Anogenital lesions in pediatric patients presented to Royal Medical Services (RMS) general dermatology clinics, who were five year old and younger.

methodsThe authors reviewed patients' medical records in the period between September 2015 and September 2018. The inclusion criteria were children of both genders who were five year old or younger and presented with papular lesions in the Anogenital area. Those patients visited the general dermatology clinics of The Royal Medical Services Hospitals from the Eastern and Southern regions of Jordan.

resultsOver a period of 3 years, a total of 514 patients were five year old or younger presented with various Anogenital papular lesions were evaluated and treated in general dermatology clinics. 35% of the patients presented with Perianal Psuedoverrucous Papules and nodules, 21% presented with Anogenital warts, 16% presented with Molluscum Contageosum. Moreover, 10% were presented with Epidermal nevi, 6% presented with Pearly Penile Papules, 7% presented with Infantile Perineal Pyramidal Protrusion, 4% presented with Vulvar Vestibular Papillomatosis, 0.2% presented with Juvenile Xanthogranuloma, 0.2% presented with lymphangioma Circumscriptum, and 0.2% presented with median raphe cyst. In addition, gender differences were noticed among Genital Warts, Mollascum Contageosum, Pearly Penile Papules, and Vulvar Vestibular Papillomatosis.

conclusionAnogenital papules in children have variable clinical presentations and can be caused by multiple number of infectious and non-infectious factors. The presence of such lesions can be a source of a major concern for parents, and might be mistakenly assumed as a result of sexual assaults. Proper recognition of these papules is of paramount importance for all physicians involved in children examination, to appropriately reassure parents and avoid unnecessary investigations and psychological distress.
