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

Atrichia congenita with papular lesions (APL) is a rare autosomal recessive form of alopecia with multiple keratin cysts. A 12-year-old boy with generalized alopecia who was unsuccessfully treated with multiple topical and systemic medications was brought to our department. Thorough history, examination and investigations confirmed the diagnosis of APL as the patient fulfilled the proposed criteria required to diagnose the condition. He also had a distinct previously observed dermoscopic clue "Cluster of Stars" appearance. The present case is reported to familiarize the clinician about this rare entity which not only helps in making proper diagnosis but also avoid unnecessary treatment as it mimics many similar conditions such as alopecia universalis, Vitamin D dependent rickets, and ectodermal dysplasia.
