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

Introduction: Lichenoid drug eruption, induced by gold or cardiovascular drugs, is one of the causes of lichen planus, and vulvovaginal erosive lichen planus can cause labial adhesions. However, few studies have focused on drugs as a cause of labial adhesions. Case presentation: We encountered a 78-year-old woman with labial adhesions, vulvodynia, and itching of the vulva. The cause was thought to be lichenoid drug eruption from an angiotensin II receptor blocker. After discontinuation of the drug, vulvodynia and pruritus resolved quickly, the pathology showed improvement, and labial adhesions did not recur after detachment. Conclusion: An angiotensin II receptor blocker was a suspected cause of vulvovaginal erosive lichen planus, which causes labial adhesions. Physicians should recognize the possible cause of labial adhesions secondary to lichenoid drug eruption.
