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
backgroundSulfur cream is reported to relieve itching and treat skin diseases caused by bacterial, fungal, and scabies infections. However, there is limited data on the efficacy of sulfur cream blowing and parching combined with compound ketoconazole ointment (ketoconazole, clobetasol propionate, and neomycin sulfate) in curing palmoplantar keratotic eczema. This prospective study proposed to investigate the clinical efficacy of sulfur cream on people who suffer with palmoplantar keratotic eczema.
methodsIn total, 116 patients with palmoplantar keratotic eczema (those who met the diagnostic criteria of Expert Consensus on Standardized Diagnostic Terminology of Dermatitis and Eczematous Diseases) were chosen and divided into a control group (C, n = 58) and a study group (S, n = 58) depending on the treatment method. Patients in group C were cured with compound ketoconazole cream, while those in group S were given sulfur cream blowing and parching (10-15 min, once in the morning and once in the evening, with 4 weeks as a course of treatment) combined with compound ketoconazole cream treatment. Scores of erythema, keratinization, scales, chapping, pruritus, quality of life, and psychological status of patients were evaluated before and 4 weeks treatment.
resultsThe overall response rate (93%
conclusionsSulfur cream blowing and parching for 4 weeks of treatment combined with compound ketoconazole cream is more effective than compound ketoconazole cream alone for 4 weeks in treating palmoplantar keratotic eczema.
