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

Chikungunya fever is a viral disease transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. Persistent polyarthritis or polyarthralgia morning stiffness and asthenia may last from serveral months to over three years after the disease onset. A 47-year-old non-smoker was referred for evaluation of multiple bilateral interlacing white plaques and papules associated with erosive areas in the buccal mucosa and the tongue's border and ventral surface. The patient had contracted chikungunya fever ten months earlier and had since experienced ongoing arthralgia and diarrhoea. At the time of the consultation and no dermatological lesions were observed. The microscopic exam of the incisional biopsy was consistent with the diagnosis of interface mucositis. While late mucocutaneous manifestations of chikungunya fever are reported in the literature including the flare-ups of preexisting dermatological lichen planus and psoriasis the patient was not taking any medication this is the first documented case of oral lichen planus onset associated with this condition.
