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 describe the case of a 12-year-old male who presented with a one-and-a-half-month history of an asymptomatic, rapidly expanding erythematous hyperkeratotic plaque on the left shoulder. On clinical exam, the patient was also found to have an ivory white atrophic plaque on the left clavicle. Given the classic lichen sclerosus (LS) lesion on the patient's clavicle, the lesion in question on his left shoulder was diagnosed as extragenital bullous LS (EBLS). The bullous variant of LS, while common in adult literature, is rarely reported in the pediatric population. The patient had a moderate clinical response to a high-potency topical corticosteroid. A review of this case, along with the literature, describes the epidemiology, clinical features, pathophysiology, and available treatment options for EBLS in the pediatric population.
