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

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that predominantly affects the genital region. Its exclusively extragenital presentation is rare. We describe the case of a 78-year-old male patient with a history of colon cancer treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, who presented with lesions clinically, dermoscopically, and histopathologically consistent with extragenital lichen sclerosus. The patient received treatment with high-potency topical corticosteroids (0.05% clobetasol propionate) and calcineurin inhibitors (0.1% tacrolimus), achieving significant clinical improvement. This case highlights the need to identify isolated clinical presentations of extragenital lichen sclerosus due to its low frequency, as well as to consider new therapeutic options for this disease.
