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

Background: Psoriasis (PS), vitiligo (VT), and Aims and Objective: To investigate the presence of HBV in PS, VT, and PR cases and Human Herpes Virus (HHV) 6 and 7 in PR cases. Materials and Methods: DNA extracted from healthy controls ( Results: The PCR data and Immunoassay study revealed that seven out of 12 PR, six out of 10 PS, and six out of 11 VT cases had signs of HBV infection. HHV 6 DNA was detected in four, whereas HHV 7 DNA was found in two of the 12 PR blood samples. PR6 presented the evidence of both HHV 6 and 7 co-infections. Conclusion: Observing the correlation of HBV with skin diseases, albeit at the pilot level, a larger study is warranted to identify HBV infection in skin disease patients. The evidence of HHV 6 and HHV 7 DNA in PR cases supports the HHV infection linkage with PR.

Co-infectionPityriasis roseapsoriasisUnderlying viral infections may be linked to chronic skin disease manifestations. Evidence of high frequency of HBV infection in PS, VT, and PR cases and the presence of HHV 6 and/or 7 infections in PR draw a diagnostic perspective for screening these subjects for these viruses as well.vitiligo
