The role of excimer light in dermatology: a review.
Review in Anais brasileiros de dermatologia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Excimer light is a subtype of NB-UVB that emits a 308 nm wavelength, and can provide targeted phototherapy treatment. The absorption of 308 nm light by skin cells leads to therapeutic response in various common and ultraviolet-responsive skin diseases, such as psoriasis and vitiligo, and photo-resistant skin diseases such as prurigo nodularis, localized scleroderma, genital lichen sclerosis, and granuloma annulare, cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, among others. Excimer light has few adverse reactions and overall is well tolerated by patients, furthermore, it can be performed in places that are difficult to access. This article aims to explain the therapeutic bases and applications of excimer light in current dermatology.
