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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesGranuloma annulare (GA) is a noninfectious, granulomatous dermatosis that is generally localized and self-limiting. In 15% of cases, the disease disseminates with protracted trajectories. This study aims to characterise the patient population with disseminated GA at a German university hospital and to explore treatment modalities. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective monocentric evaluation was conducted at the University Hospital Regensburg between 2021 and 2023 with descriptive statistical analysis of the patient population and the treatment modalities used.
resultsDuring the specified period, 239 patients with GA were identified, 33 of whom had histologically confirmed disseminated GA. Of the patients, 25 (76%) were women. Average age was 57.4 ± 14.4 years. Furthermore 17 patients (53%) denied symptoms. Common symptoms included dysesthesia, itching and pain. Frequent concomitant diseases were diabetes mellitus, thyroid disease, atopic dermatitis and coronary heart disease. Topical glucocorticoids, systemic glucocorticoids, phototherapy, topical calcineurin inhibitors and dimethyl fumarate were used therapeutically in descending frequency. Only 6 patients (18%) showed partial or complete remission.
conclusionDue to the lack of approved therapies, disseminated GA is treated with inadequately effective regimens. Prospective randomized placebo-controlled trials are needed to investigate the efficacy of novel targeted therapies.
