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
Background: Lichen planus (LP) is an inflammatory skin disease, characterized by pruritic, violaceous papules with adnexal involvement in some patients. There is scarce literature about clinical presentations of LP in Pakistan and south Asian region. Objective: We aimed to assess the clinical characteristics and prognosis of LP in outpatients of a tertiary-care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Materials and Methods: A retrospective file review was conducted, from January 2017 to December 2020. Data were retrieved from coded dermatology outpatients' database. All files with clinical and/or histopathological diagnosis of LP were included in the study. While collecting data, we found missing information, in these cases, telephonic calls were made. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 2 (Armonk, NY). Results: A total of 185 records were reviewed, with mean age of 40.5 ± 17.52 years (0.07), and female predominance of 64.3% ( Conclusion: Cutaneous LP without adnexal involvement was found to be the most common type with female predominance. The most frequent comorbidity seen was hypertension and diabetes. There was no association found in patients whose HCV status was known with LP. Duration of disease was variable with maximum 28 years.
