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

Histological risk factors of AKs cannot be directly determined. Recent studies indicate that AKs restricted to the lower third of the epidermis (AK I), with marked basal proliferation (PRO III) and acantholysis, are associated with an increased risk of progression to invasive squamous cell carcinoma (iSCC). To confirm the aforementioned histological risk factors, this study compared AKs from solid organ transplant recipients (sOTRs), known to carry an up to 250-fold higher risk for progression into iSCC, to a matched immunocompetent control group (ICG). In total, 111 AKs from 43 sOTRs showed more AKs (
