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

Dermatosis neglecta (DN) is a frequently underrecognized skin disorder that occurs due to unconscious or conscious neglect of self-cleaning, causing the accumulation of keratin, sweat, sebum, and impurities. It is characterized by asymptomatic yellowish-to-brownish, waxy, adherent papules or plaques with cornflake-like scales that mimic several dermatological conditions. DN awareness is crucial for avoiding unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures. Its lesions can be removed with some difficulty by ordinary cleansing and efficiently cleared with ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Individuals with underlying physical or mental disabilities or psychiatric conditions are highly associated with DN. Nevertheless, supportive evidence for the coexistence of DN and psychological conditions is sparse, and most individuals with mental problems usually deny having psychiatric issues. Here, we present a case of DN resembling pemphigus foliaceus on the face with obsessive-compulsive disorder in a 16-years old male. The definitive diagnosis of DN in this patient was confirmed
