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

Cutaneous plasmacytosis (CP) is a rare disorder of uncertain etiology. We report an unusual and rare case of CP in a 57‑year‑old male who presented with popular nodules all over the body, accompanied by head plaques. Pathological biopsy of the skin revealed large infiltration of mature plasma cells within the dermis. Elevated serum IgG4 concentrations were found. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the polyclonal nature of the plasma cells. The diagnosis of CP was established. Steroid therapy was administered at a dose of 20 mg/day. After 1 month of treatment, the patient's eruption showed regression. These findings remind dermatologists to include CP in their clinical differential diagnosis of patients with head plaques. Meanwhile, clinicians should carefully that individuals diagnosed with CP at risk for malignant transformation.
