The Diagnosis of Esophageal Lichen Planus: Recurrent Esophageal Strictures, Delayed-Onset Rash, and Tracheal Stenosis.

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.
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 (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving the skin and mucous membranes. Esophageal LP is often under-recognized and may present with or without other mucocutaneous sites of involvement. Its diagnosis is made challenging by its variable presentation and high rate of negative biopsies. Although some studies have suggested diagnostic criteria and severity grading, no formal guidelines exist. Diagnosis is made with a combination of clinical presentation, macroscopic findings on endoscopy, and histologic evidence. This case report highlights the challenges in the diagnosis of biopsy-negative esophageal LP and importance of timely diagnosis and initiation of appropriate medical therapy.
