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

Narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment for pediatric skin disorders. We aimed to present the results of our 10-year experience of the efficacy and safety of NB-UVB phototherapy in children. We collected data from the phototherapy records of children aged < 17 years who received treatment between January 2013 and June 2023. The study included 108 patients, of whom 58 (53.7%) were female and 50 (46.3%) were male, with an average age of 12.6 years (range, 5-16 years). The most common skin diseases treated with NB-UVB phototherapy were psoriasis vulgaris (n = 40, 37.9%), vitiligo (n = 36, 33.3%), and guttate psoriasis (n = 12, 11.1%). The average duration of phototherapy for all patients was 5.88 months (ranging: 0.5-20.5 months), with a mean cumulative phototherapy dose of 29.0 J/cm
