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

Dear Editor, Papular acantholytic dyskeratosis (PAD) is a rare, sporadic, persistent disease of adulthood, localized to the genitocrural and anogenital regions. It was proposed as a new entity by Chorzelski et al. in 1984, based on the case of a 23-year-old woman with multiple, dome-shaped, white papules grouped on her vulva, which revealed histopathologically an epidermal proliferation with acantholysis and dyskeratosis, resembling both Haley-Haley (HHD) and Darier diseases (DD). Since then, PAD was reported as an asymptomatic/slightly itchy eruption of multiple white to skin-colored papules, coalescing to plaques, more commonly around the vulva. Cases among males were fewer.
