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

Keloids are fibroproliferative scars extending beyond the original wound margin and are more common in individuals with darker skin types. Eruptive keloids represent a rare clinical presentation characterized by the sudden development of multiple lesions. Only a few cases have been reported following varicella infection. We report a 15-year-old immunocompetent female who developed five painful and pruritic keloids over the jaw, chest, abdomen, and flank within 2 months of primary varicella infection. All lesions corresponded to healed varicella scars. Diagnosis was made clinically based on classical morphology. The patient was managed conservatively due to financial constraints, and lesions remained stable during follow-up. Varicella-induced inflammatory and profibrotic cytokine responses may contribute to aberrant wound healing. Clinicians should recognize this rare temporal association to ensure early counseling and appropriate management.
