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

Multiple eruptive dermatofibroma is a rare variant of dermatofibroma and often occurs in association with systemic disease, particularly involving immune dysregulation. We present what may be the first reported case of multiple eruptive dermatofibroma in association with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, a premalignant plasma cell dyscrasia. A 66-year-old male with stable IgM monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance developed over 50 asymptomatic papulonodular lesions over two years. Histopathology confirmed dermatofibromas, the timeline of lesion development was consistent with multiple eruptive dermatofibroma, and laboratory evaluation revealed elevated IgM and a monoclonal paraprotein band. This case highlights a novel systemic association between multiple eruptive dermatofibroma and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. Given the frequent co-occurrence of immune dysregulation in patients with multiple eruptive dermatofibroma, evaluation for underlying systemic immunologic conditions in affected individuals is warranted. Recognition of such associations may facilitate earlier diagnosis and surveillance of systemic disease.
