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

Background: Lipschütz's acute vulvar ulceration is the vulvar manifestation of a systemic pathology. It is first reported in 1912 and is a non-sexually acquired condition characterized by symmetrical genital ulcers. It is an underdiagnosed condition with poor cases described in the literature. The main symptom is pain. Case Presentation: We describe the case report of a 14-year-old patient with painful genital ulcers associated with flu-like symptoms. The gynaecological examination showed the presence of multiple vulvar lesions. The diagnosis of Lipschütz ulcers was a diagnosis of exclusion. Conclusion: This rare condition must not be underestimated because of any psychophysical implication. It is mandatory to reassure the patient and her family of its benign course.
