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

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a common cultural practice, which involves the partial or complete removal of the external female genitalia. With increasing immigration from regions where the practice is endemic, there has been a growing prevalence of FGM in the United States and other developed nations. However, most medical professionals lack the baseline knowledge regarding FGM and its associated health complications. Given this increasing trend, dermatologists should anticipate an increasing number of patients with a history of FGM in their practice. While some of the obstetric, gynecologic, and psychologic consequences of FGM have been well-reported, the dermatologic findings are less characterized. Thus, this review article aims to provide dermatologists with a fundamental understanding of the prevalence, cultural significance, and health implications of FGM with a focus on the associated dermatological findings and provides recommendations on how dermatologists can address this sensitive matter.
