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

Bowen's disease (BD) is an in situ squamous cell carcinoma of the epidermis with multiple etiologies and a high incidence among Caucasians. It commonly occurs in photo-exposed areas of the skin, although other sites can also be affected. Most lesions are solitary, and their morphology can vary based on the lesion's age, origin, and degree of keratinization. A 50-year-old female from Saudi Arabia presented to the dermatology clinic with a three-year history of slowly enlarging skin lesions on the left side of her chest. Initially, the lesion appeared three years ago, but she observed changes and a darkening in color over the past year, accompanied by mild pain and itching. On examination, the lesion was a 2 × 2 cm, well-defined, unevenly pigmented brown-black plaque with a dispersed pigment pattern and irregular borders with globularity on the left side of the upper chest. A 4 mm punch biopsy was taken from the most pigmented area and sent for histopathological examination, which confirmed the diagnosis of pigmented BD.
