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 is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin and mucous membranes of unknown etiology. The disease most often affects the genital area, but the extragenital form of the disease is diagnosed in approximately 15-20% of patients. Extragenital lichen sclerosus manifests as porcelain-white papules that form plaques. The lesions can enlarge, affecting extensive areas of the skin. Characteristic lesions may be accompanied by hemorrhagic spots, blisters, and erosions. To date, extragenital lichen sclerosus-particularly the bullous variant-poses a therapeutic challenge for clinicians, characterized by high resistance to treatment. The aim of this review is to summarize the currently available knowledge about extragenital lichen sclerosus and its treatment methods.
