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

Lichen planus is a common pruritic inflammatory disorder of the skin with an autoimmune background. It affects < 1% of the general population. The disease has significant comorbidities that must be considered in a holistic approach. Skin and skin adnexa, mucosa, eyes, and the esophagus may be affected. There are various clinical subtypes in addition to classical cutaneous lichen planus. These subtypes depend on age and gender. Nail involvement can result in functional and psychological impairment. Lichen planopilaris in adults leads to irreversible cicatrical alopecia. Erosive and ulcerated lichen planus of the mucosa carries an increased risk of malignant transformation, at least in adults. Treatment must consider the affected area, the severity of disease, age, gender, and comorbidities.
