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

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a chronic variant of cutaneous lupus erythematous developing on sun-exposed areas in multi-morphic forms making diagnosis challenging. Clinical suspicion and prompt treatment are necessary to avoid permanent disfigurement, progression to systemic involvement and poor quality of life. We report a case of delayed DLE diagnosis in a 45-year-old man who presented with a new skin lesion mimicking the early stages of mycosis fungoides that prompted further investigation. Histopathological examination confirmed DLE and appropriate treatment was initiated. However, the atypical clinical presentation led to disseminated DLE and refractory disease control, resulting in scarring and cosmetic disfigurement.
