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

Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare autosomal dominant acantholytic dermatosis characterized by recurrent erosive plaques in intertriginous areas. Atypical presentations can resemble other acantholytic disorders, making diagnosis challenging. A 38-year-old male presented with recurrent pruritic lesions over flexural regions, worsened by heat and sweating. Although classical erosive plaques were noted over the neck and axillae, lesions over the groin and other flexures showed a predominant papular and follicular morphology with marked post-inflammatory pigmentation, mimicking other acantholytic dermatoses. Histopathology revealed suprabasal acantholysis with a "dilapidated brick wall" pattern. Clinicopathological correlation established the diagnosis of HHD. Atypical papular forms of HHD may mimic other acantholytic dermatoses, complicating diagnosis. Recognition of such morphological variation and clinicopathological correlation is essential for accurate diagnosis.
