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

introductionThe term vulvar leukoplakia encompasses a variety of non-inflammatory diseases that lead to skin discoloration of the external genitalia and white colouration. Most commonly, these are vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) and squamous cell hyperplasia of the vulva (SCHV). They have similar aetiology, clinical presentation, and treatment but different anatomical pathology. AIM OF THE STUDY: The study aims to determine the effect of Theresienöl herbal oil treatment in patients with clinically proven diagnosis of VLS and SCHV. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis prospective study includes 17 patients with a diagnosis of VLS and SCHV, who underwent a 3-month treatment course with Theresienöl herbal oil. All patients were followed up for 1 year after therapy initiation, and the effect of treatment was reported using a visual analogue scale (VAS) for genital itching.

resultsThe median age of patients enrolled was 60.6 years (range 42-74); 2 patients dropped out due to failure to attend follow-up visits. The mean score of the VAS taken at the beginning of treatment was 1.65 (0-5); at the 3

conclusionsTheresienöl herbal oil treatment of vulvar leukoplakia is effective and safe, but studies should be continued.
