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

Acrokeratosis paraneoplastica, also known as Bazex syndrome, is a rare paraneoplastic psoriasiform dermatosis that is strongly associated with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of mainly the head and neck. The disease typically progresses through three stages, initially affecting the fingernails, nose, and ears before spreading to the palms, soles, and eventually the trunk. We present an unusual progression of a psoriasiform rash in which the dorsal hands, trunk, and legs were primarily affected before involving the palmar hands and ears in a patient later diagnosed with oral SCC. This case also highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for paraneoplastic conditions that could lead to more prompt diagnoses of internal malignancies and improve patient outcomes.
