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

Primary localized cutaneous nodular amyloidosis (PLCNA) is included in the primary forms of cutaneous amyloidosis along with macular and lichenoid amyloidosis. It is a rare disease attributed to plasma cell proliferation and deposition of immunoglobulin light chains in the skin. We present the case of a 75-year-old woman with a personal history of Sjogren's syndrome (SjS), who consulted for asymptomatic yellowish, waxy nodules on the left leg. Dermoscopy of the lesions showed a smooth, structureless, yellowish surface with hemorrhagic areas and few telangiectatic vessels. Histopathology revealed an atrophic epidermis and deposits of amorphous eosinophilic material in the dermis with a positive Congo red stain. The diagnosis of nodular amyloidosis was made. Periodic reevaluation was indicated after the exclusion of systemic amyloidosis. PLCNA is often associated with autoimmune connective tissue diseases, and up to 25% of all PLCNA cases occur in patients with SjS. Therefore, in addition to ruling out systemic amyloidosis, screening for possible underlying SjS should be performed when the diagnosis of PLCNA is confirmed.
