Uncovering subtle nail involvement in lichen planus with dermoscopy: a prospective, controlled study.
Article in Postepy dermatologii i alergologii, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionThere are very few studies investigating the dermoscopic aspect of nail involvement in lichen planus and these studies described dermoscopic features of only clinically visible nail involvement in lichen planus.
aimTo reveal subtle dermoscopic nail findings in patients with lichen planus. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study included 40 patients with lichen planus and 40 healthy volunteers. All fingernails of the patients and healthy volunteers were examined by a handheld dermoscope and the findings detected were recorded. The patients were grouped by age, gender, disease duration and extent of the disease. The statistical analysis was performed using Chi square test.
results82.5% of the patients and 17.5% of the healthy volunteers showed at least one dermoscopic nail finding. The frequency of multiple splinter haemorrhage (
conclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first study focusing on uncovering subtle nail involvement in lichen planus. The presence of dilated hyponychial vascular structures in lichen planus was first described in the present study. It can be concluded that the frequency of nail involvement in lichen planus is more than known. Dermoscopic imaging of the nails of all patients with lichen planus may help establish early diagnosis and treatment to avoid permanent nail damage.
