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

Solar urticaria is a rare idiopathic photodermatosis. According to the current knowledge its pathogenesis is most likely based on an allergic type I reaction to an autoantigen activated by ultraviolet (UV) radiation or visible light. As many of the patients suffer from severe forms of the disease, it may therefore severely impair the quality of life of those affected. In contrast, polymorphous light eruption is a very common disease, which, according to the current data, can be interpreted as a type IV allergic reaction to a photoallergen induced by UV radiation. As the skin lesions heal despite continued sun exposure, the patients' quality of life is generally not significantly impaired. These two clinically and pathogenetically very different light dermatoses have shared diagnostics by means of light provocation and an important therapeutic option (light hardening). Herein, we present an overview of the clinical picture, pathogenesis, diagnosis and available treatment options for the above-mentioned diseases.
