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

Lichen simplex chronicus commonly presents as a distressing vaginal lesion caused by severe, cyclical itch-scratch behavior. Lichen simplex chronicus is diagnosed by obtaining a detailed medical history, performing a physical exam, and recording of self-reported symptoms. Lichen simplex chronicus can be treated by corticosteroids, immunomodulators, antiepileptics, antihistamines, antidepressants, and phototherapy. Our case describes a 55-year-old female patient who presented to a clinic with recurrent vaginal itching, combined with compulsive scratching behavior that disrupted daily functioning. Physical examination revealed hypertrophic nodules located on the labia minora with scaling and hyperpigmentation. And the patient was diagnosed with lichen simplex chronicus. Empirical treatment with behavioral modifications and clobetasol propionate cream with an occlusive dressing produced significant improvements in symptoms at a six-month follow-up. Lichen simplex chronicus can have unusual presentations and; therefore, must be carefully differentiated from infectious and malignant skin lesions.
