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

Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is an acquired disorder of hyperpigmentation. Atypical presentations, such as linear or blaschkoid distribution, are exceedingly rare and may pose diagnostic challenges. We report a case of a 32-year-old male with pruritic, hyperpigmented, slate-gray to brown macules and patches distributed linearly along Blaschko's lines on the right upper back and upper limb. The diagnosis of LPP was corroborated by clinical appearance, dermoscopic examination, and histopathological analysis. Recognition of such unusual patterns is essential for accurate diagnosis and to differentiate from other linear pigmentary disorders.
