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

Extragenital lichen sclerosus (EGLS) is often resistant to first-line ultrapotent corticosteroids, with few steroid-sparing options available. Topical roflumilast has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an expanding number of indications in dermatology, including plaque psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and, most recently, seborrheic dermatitis. We present two cases of symptomatic EGLS, who both demonstrated clinical improvement using roflumilast 0.3% cream as early as one month of follow-up.
