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

Genital psoriasis is a debilitating condition affecting approximately 49% of male psoriasis patients at least once during their lifetime. This condition often presents as generalized plaque psoriasis and features well-demarcated, erythematous plaques affecting the glans penis and corona. Presentations of male genital psoriasis which disagree with this description may be under- or misdiagnosed, delaying appropriate management. We present the first reported case of chronic plaque psoriasis affecting the penile shaft without involvement of the glans. Both consistent histologic and non-cutaneous features of psoriasis facilitated diagnosis in this patient. The sclerotic plaque on the patient's penile shaft resolved following biologic therapy for psoriasis. This rare presentation of genital psoriasis highlights important learning points for clinicians and dermatopathologists. First, genital psoriasis may affect the penile shaft without involvement of the glans penis. Second, non-cutaneous signs of psoriasis can inform diagnosis when clinical presentation is atypical. Third, psoriasis exhibits a broad spectrum of histopathology.
