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

Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) is a dermatological disorder characterised by excessive thickening of the palms and soles, encompassing more than 20 conditions. The disease is often misdiagnosed in primary care settings, leading to unnecessary treatments and delays. We present the case of a 3-year-old girl with skin thickening on both her palms and soles persisting for 2 years, initially believed to be an acquired condition. Subsequent evaluation revealed a family history of similar skin lesions. This case report highlights the crucial role of family physicians in differentiating hereditary from acquired PPK, especially in settings where advanced testing is unavailable. Implementing a structured diagnostic approach at the primary care level can significantly improve patient management and reduce morbidities and healthcare costs. This case contributes to the existing knowledge in this field, where hereditary PPK remains underexplored.
