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

Gentamicin ointment has potential in the treatment of Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis. However, there is a lack of reliable study data. The aim of this study was to perform a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, contralateral, vehicle-controlled clinical trial. A total of 20 subjects diagnosed with Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis by genetic test, who carried nonsense mutations, enrolled in the 30-day study. Gentamicin ointment was applied to the hand and foot on one side of the body, and vehicle ointment was applied to the hand and foot on the other side. The choice of hand and foot in each subject was randomly allocated. The severity of the patient's skin lesions and quality of life were assessed by a blinded evaluator, using the Dermatology Life Quality Index, visual analogue scale scores and digital photography. Gentamicin ointment treatment resulted in a significant improvement in symptoms of hyperkeratosis and foul smell compared with vehicle. No difference was found in the effect on erythema between gentamicin and vehicle. In conclusion, gentamicin ointment demonstrated positive responses and good tolerance in treating Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis caused by nonsense mutations.
