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

Introduction: Darier disease (DD) is a rare genodermatosis associated with neuropsychiatric, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders. Nail changes in DD are reported but understudied. We aimed to characterize nail changes and comorbidities in patients with DD to guide management. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 26 patients with DD at Weill Cornell (2010-2025), analyzing demographics, comorbidities, and clinical features. Fisher's exact tests assessed associations between comorbidities and clinical features ( Results: Ten patients (38.5%) had nail changes, including V-shaped nicking (19.2%) and "candy cane" nails (longitudinal erythronychia/leukonychia) (11.5%). Nail changes preceded skin changes in 20%. Nail examination was not documented in 26.9%. Skin symptoms included pruritus (30.8%), pain (23.1%), and burning sensation (19.2%). Comorbidities included cardiovascular disease (23.1%), neuropsychiatric disease (26.9%), neuropsychiatric medication use (15.4%), and diabetes/prediabetes (19.2%). Diabetes/prediabetes correlated with burning sensation ( Discussion: Nail changes were common in patients with DD and the first sign of disease in 20%. Nail examination was lacking in >1/4 of patients, demonstrating an opportunity for education. Patients with DD had high prevalence of comorbidities and cutaneous symptoms. Therefore, active monitoring for symptoms including burning, pain, and pruritus is important, especially in patients with baseline comorbidities.
