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 sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease commonly affecting the anogenital area with less frequent extragenital occurrence. Extragenital LS cutaneous manifestations vary and precipitating factors are not well described. Recent evidence for etiology and clinical associations of extragenital LS provide insight into disease recognition and pathogenesis. Novel diagnostic techniques as well as treatment standardization have the potential to improve management of this rare condition. This review details both past and new insights into the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment options of extragenital LS.
