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

Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (PCAS) is a chronic recurrent disease. Single treatment modalities are commonly ineffective. A surgical intervention combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) may be an effective treatment strategy. Herein, we present the case of a 21-year-old man with a 2-month history of PCAS treated with such a treatment. PDT may directly eradicate sebaceous glands and reduce follicular hyperkeratosis, and the surgical procedure can eliminate septic and decayed tissue. The surgical intervention combined with PDT was effective in relieving the patient's pain, and we believe it provides an option for the treatment of PCAS.
