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

Pigmented erythroplasia of Queyrat (EQ) is a rare variant of in situ squamous cell carcinoma that can clinically and dermoscopically mimic melanoma, which makes it hard to diagnose. We report the case of a 66-year-old man with a slowly progressive pigmented penile plaque. Dermoscopy and histology confirmed the diagnosis of pigmented EQ. The patient was successfully treated with photodynamic therapy followed by reconstructive surgery. This case highlights the importance of considering pigmented EQ in the differential diagnosis of genital pigmented lesions and illustrates the effectiveness of a conservative multimodal approach.
