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

Linear psoriasis is a rare type of psoriasis that usually presents as scaly papules and plaques unilaterally distributed along the Blaschko line. Currently, the pathogenesis of linear psoriasis is not fully understood, and genetic mosaicism may be one of the explanations. As linear psoriasis is less responsive to treatment than psoriasis vulgaris, there is no consensus on treatment guidelines specifically for this disease, and the efficacy of ustekinumab in treating this category has not been reported. In this article, we present a case of effective treatment of linear psoriasis with ustekinumab and review the relevant literature, hoping to help clinicians better understand and treat this disease.
