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

Post-burn leukoderma, commonly affecting the African and Asian communities, results from deep dermal burns. The associated stigma exacerbates the condition and significantly affects the rehabilitation and reintegration of post-burn survivors into society. Melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation (MKTP) is a promising single-stage treatment for repigmentation in vitiligo. However, its use in post-burn leukoderma is undetermined. This study aims to evaluate the MKTP treatment in post-burn leukoderma patches. Six patients (five males and one female, mean age = 29±5.51 years) with ten patches of post-burn leukoderma underwent single-stage MKTP without adjuvant pigmentation therapy. The postoperative follow-up period ranged from twelve to twenty-four months for all the patients. The average size of leukoderma treated was 16.25±9 cm
