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

Trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS) is a unique, rare clinical and histological dermatologic entity described mainly in a setting of immunosuppression. It is caused by a novel human polymoavirus, TS-associated polyomavirus. Reduction of immunosuppression and/or anti-viral therapy is the main therapeutic strategies used to treat such cases. We report a biopsy-proven case of TS in a male renal transplant patient who presented to a dermatology outpatient clinic in Montreal, Canada, in 2015. He was managed with valgancyclovir with no obvious response. Subsequently, a trial of topical imiquimod was commenced. Awareness of TS can prompt early diagnosis and management to prevent possible complications.
