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

Psoriasis frequently coexists with other immune-mediated conditions such as arthritis, alopecia areata, vitiligo, and hidradenitis suppurativa, many of which remain challenging to manage. To date, there have been rarely reported cases of treating psoriasis combined with lichen planus. We report a case of coexisting psoriasis and lichen planus in a female patient. Despite initial efficacy with acitretin and topical mometasone, the patient self-discontinued treatment over safety concerns, prompting a relapse. Upadacitinib was subsequently initiated and yielded marked improvement within 3 months. By discussing the disease interplay and treatment rationale, this report seeks to inform clinical decision-making.
