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

Phototherapy is an efficient therapy for a variety of skin diseases. Various drugs can cause photosensitivity and impact tolerability of phototherapy. The tolerability was investigated of narrowband ultraviolet-B 311 nm therapy in dependence on the underlying disease and long-term co-medication. A total of 534 narrowband ultraviolet-B therapy courses were examined. Compared with psoriasis, adverse events were observed more frequently in eczematous diseases and, in some cases, other indications. About two-thirds of all courses were carried out in patients taking at least one photosensitising drug, according to the summaries of product characteristics. Phototherapy was more frequently associated with adverse events when medication was taken concomitantly. When considering the tolerability of phototherapy in dependence on individual substances or drug classes, no statistically significant result was shown after adjustment.
