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

We report the case of a 74-year-old Inuit man from Kangiqsualujjuaq, Quebec, with a 10-year history of persistent facial skin changes, reported as "dry skin." Examination revealed violaceous scaly papules on sun-exposed areas that had sandpaper texture on palpation. The patient, with no significant medical history, spends extensive time outdoors in a subarctic environment. A diagnosis of actinic keratoses was made. This case highlights the need to recognize atypical presentations of actinic keratoses in patients with darker skin phototypes and high environmental ultraviolet exposure. Topical 5% fluorouracil was initiated.
