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

Purpose: There are few reports on the comprehensive surgical management of extensive nevus comedonicus, and the genetic mechanism of this rare disease is not yet fully understood. Patients and Methods: We report a case of a 38-year-old woman with extensive nevus comedonicus, refractory to multiple medical treatments. She underwent comb flap reconstruction combined with super tension-relieving sutures and vacuum sealing drainage. In addition, whole-exome sequencing was performed on the lesional tissue samples. Results: Nevus comedonicus was confirmed by physical and histopathological examination. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was satisfied with the efficacy. Furthermore, no rare or deleterious mutations were detected in NEK9, FGFR2, ABCA12, or KRT10. Conclusion: Comprehensive surgical intervention is a viable therapeutic option for extensive nevus comedonicus refractory to medical management. Further investigation into the underlying genetic mechanisms of this disease is warranted.
