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

introductionActinic keratoses (AKs) are rough, scaly patches from UV exposure, increasing the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). This study examines AK incidence in Korea and its role as a risk factor for NMSC.

methodsA retrospective nationwide register-based cohort study analyzed 2,917 AK patients and 14,585 controls from 2002 to 2019. Patients diagnosed with AK were followed until NMSC occurrence, death, emigration, or December 2019.

resultsAK incidence reached 44.8 per 100,000 person-years in 2019. The adjusted hazard ratio for NMSC in AK patients was 8.91 (95% confidence interval, 5.72-13.90). Higher NMSC risk was observed in female AK patients, those under 60 years, and those with lower income levels. The 16-year cumulative incidence of NMSC was 4.19% in AK patients versus 0.44% in controls.

conclusionAK significantly increases the risk of NMSC in Koreans, highlighting the need for tailored surveillance and treatment strategies.
