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

backgroundLichen planus (LP) with distribution of lesions along Blaschko's lines is a rare entity, accounting for 0.24%-0.62% of all patients. Unilateral distribution of lesions in arm, leg, trunk, and waist is even less common. Approximately 10% of patients with LP manifest nail lesions. CASE SUMMARY: A 20-year-old woman presented to our department with polygonal, purpuric, flat-topped papules over the right arm, right leg, and right side of trunk and waist for the last 5 mo. The patient initially developed nail deformation in the left middle finger with no obvious cause, followed by development of blue-purple and red maculopapular rash with pruritus. During the disease course, the skin lesions aggravated and spread to several segments due to scratching. The lesions showed unilateral distribution along the Blaschko's lines. The diagnosis of LP along Blaschko's lines was established based on dermoscopy and skin biopsy. Her cutaneous lesions considerably improved after 4-wk treatment with intramuscular glucocorticoid, oral acitretin, topical glucocorticoid, and retinoids.

conclusionCases of LP involving multiple segments of the body along the Blaschko's lines with nail damage are rare.
