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

Linear scleroderma of the head and face is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by linear depressed scarring in the frontoparietal area of the face. Here, we report a patient with linear scleroderma of the head and face with neurological symptoms such as spontaneous epilepsy and numbness of the right limb as well as the presence of white matter lesions. The patient underwent computed tomography and 3.0-T magnetic resonance examinations including diffusion weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and perfusion imaging. The imaging findings suggested a disrupted fiber tract and decreased relative cerebral blood flow. Our observation may help to improve the diagnosis and treatment of linear scleroderma of the head and face.
