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

The diuretic drug hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) is associated with an increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancer upon UV exposure. The underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms behind this association remain elusive. Herein, a human skin model to assess the photocarcinogenic effects of HCT is established. Skin biopsies collected from human body donors are treated with HCT and irradiated with 300 mJ/cm
