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

introductionTirbanibulin, a topical treatment for actinic keratosis (AK) with a novel antiproliferative mechanism of action, has demonstrated efficacy and a favorable tolerability profile in clinical trials and real-life studies. An insight into best-practice use of tirbanibulin in different clinical presentations of AK would be useful.

objectivesThe aim of this article was to deliver advice, via expert consensus, on the optimal use of tirbanibulin in the real-life management of AK.

methodsA panel of 11 dermatologists with expertise in the treatment of AK convened to develop consensus statements about key aspects of tirbanibulin treatment in AK patients based on selected literature data and on their own clinical experience.

resultsTwo areas were examined and discussed: clinical assessment/diagnostic procedures and key aspects of tirbanibulin therapy. A total of 19 statements concerning clinical evaluation of AK patients, routine and advanced diagnostic instruments, patient selection, treatment modalities, and key messages for patient communication were drafted and voted on.

conclusionTirbanibulin should be considered as a first-line option for most patients with AK owing to its proven efficacy, good local and systemic tolerability, and a short treatment regimen of five days. All these factors encourage patient acceptability and treatment compliance. The favorable safety profile and tolerability of tirbanibulin also enable flexible therapeutic schedules, including repeated treatment cycles, if needed.
