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

Tattoos have become a form of artistic expression throughout human life. They have also been used in the medical field in various subspecialties for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The rise in this activity has been accompanied by increased cutaneous and systemic complications associated with various pigments and application techniques. Some cutaneous complications related to tattooing may include inflammatory, infectious, and proliferative forms. It is well-known that there are relative contraindications for patients with systemic or skin conditions, which pose a higher risk for complications following tattoo application. One relative contraindication may be immunosuppression caused by a chronic degenerative disease or medications that compromise immunity. This immunosuppression can be either temporary or permanent. We present an atypical case of a patient who experienced a complication secondary to red tattoo ink within the context of immunosuppression due to treatment for his underlying disease.
