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

Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini (APP) is a rare skin condition of unknown etiology. It is characterized by dermal atrophy with single or multiple hyperpigmented, non-indurated, and slightly depressed plaques on the trunk or limbs; unlike morphea, this condition does not cause induration. In this report, we analyze the case of a patient diagnosed with APP with a 19-year history of progression, aiming to highlight the few cases published in the literature. The patient responded favorably to treatment with mycophenolic acid (MPA). Therapeutic approaches for this condition are controversial due to its long-term progression and low frequency. Currently, there are no published reports on the use of MPA for the treatment of this condition.
