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

Biopsies are only performed in less than 1% of all consultations dedicated to paediatric genital dermatology. The objectives of this paper are to review and clarify the histopathological features of the conditions most often biopsied: first, lichen sclerosus, which has a peak incidence in childhood and progresses over years; secondly, pigmented lesions, including atypical genital naevi and common naevi in the context of lichen sclerosus, both histologically differential diagnoses of melanoma, which probably does not present in childhood. And finally, Crohn's disease, which is a cause of vulval oedema or genital ulceration.
