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

Skin lesions caused by allergic contact dermatitis are an important occupational and environmental disease. Patch testing is the gold-standard procedure used to diagnose allergic contact dermatitis.The present chapter summarizes aspects of patch testing for the diagnosis of contact allergy: important working definitions, relevance of treating contact dermatitis, materials, technique, test result and interpretation, and special consideration regarding individual factors which influence the patch test outcome or necessitate special attention.Performing and interpreting patch tests requires know-how. Knowing how to perform them and the particularities of specific cases is essential to correctly interpret the results. A correct evaluation and diagnosis will significantly impact the natural history of the disease and significantly improve the quality of life of the patient.
