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

Hypergranulation is a common complication of wound healing that dermatologists encounter and is characterized by excess granulation tissue, which results in delayed healing and reepithelialization. Though many treatment options have been presented in the literature, less invasive and irritating treatment regimens are often preferred in the pediatric population. Here we present a case of a 14-year-old female with hypergranulation tissue (HGT) of the scalp that was successfully treated with topical corticosteroids (TCS). Additionally, a literature review was conducted to determine the prevalence of topical corticosteroid use for HGT in the pediatric population. Although not first line, TCS should be considered as a non-invasive and painless treatment for HGT in the pediatric population.
