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

Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms (AWP) is a rare transient dermatological disorder, characterized by an extreme and early wrinkling and pruning of the palms that occurs within a few minutes of exposure to water. Greater awareness of AWP is needed since the vast majority of AWP cases are linked with cystic fibrosis (CF) and CF carrier state. Initial assessment of AWP cases can be done in a primary care setting. A comprehensive medical history and physical examination should be done upon the diagnosis of AWP with additional investigations based on patients' presentation. We report two cases of AWP diagnosed at a family medicine center in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The first case was related to the use of ibuprofen and discounting this medication led to a marked improvement in the patient's symptoms. The second case was related to primary palmar hyperhidrosis that was managed successfully with topical 20% aluminum chloride.
