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

Polymorphic light eruption (PLE) is a common photodermatosis which is believed to be attributable to an immune reaction to an unidentified photoantigen. The epidermal barrier deters skin entry of photoantigens, but its potential contribution to PLE pathogenesis is unexplored. Our objective was to examine the expression of key barrier proteins in PLE patients in vivo compared with healthy controls, both at baseline and after ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Seven PLE patients and 10 healthy volunteers were recruited. Small areas of buttock skin were exposed to 80 mJ/cm
