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

Calcinosis cutis is a disease process characterized by calcified lesions in the skin. Although there are five subtypes of calcinosis, idiopathic calcinosis cutis is a rare disease process with no clear etiology. It has been described in many parts of the body; however, there are only five reported cases specifically involving the hands. We describe the presentation and successful treatment of a case of idiopathic calcinosis cutis in a 65-year-old man with lesions on his bilateral hands. We believe that surgical excision of symptomatic lesions is a safe and effective treatment for idiopathic calcinosis cutis of the hands.
