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

A 46-year-old male presented with a 6-year history of progressive, purplish-red, hyperkeratotic papules on the scrotum. These lesions bled during intercourse and routine activities, causing significant distress. Clinical examination and pathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of angiokeratoma of Fordyce. Due to patient preference and cost-effectiveness, sclerotherapy with 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate was chosen. Following topical anesthesia, the lesions were injected with the sclerosing agent. After two sessions spaced 2 weeks apart, complete resolution of both the smaller and larger lesions was achieved. This case report expands the therapeutic options for angiokeratoma of Fordyce and highlights the successful utilization of 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate sclerotherapy in achieving complete clearance with minimal invasiveness and cost.
