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

Keloids are complex fibroproliferative disorders with diverse clinical presentations. Spontaneous keloids (SKs) represent a rare subtype that emerges without any known preceding traumatic event. This report presents a case of familial spontaneous keloids appearing on the thoracic region in two brothers with no prior history of trauma or keloid occurrence in other family members. The lesions exhibited progressive growth over several years but responded to cycles of triamcinolone treatment. This case underscores an unusual spontaneous occurrence of keloids in the thoracic region of two siblings, highlighting the potential genetic predisposition in the aetiology of these lesions. Additionally, this instance reinforces the concept that keloids can develop spontaneously without any apparent trauma in the affected area.
