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

We report a clinical case of pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis. A 36-year-old female presented to our institution with a 30-year history of spontaneously erupting papules on her anterior neck. These lesions had gradually increased in both number and size without any identifiable trigger. Physical examination revealed numerous densely distributed, firm, pale-yellow subcutaneous papules localized to the anterior neck, right supraclavicular region, right shoulder, and right posterior neck. Dermoscopy demonstrated pale or milky-white structureless areas with globular or irregular morphologies. Some lesions exhibited slight confluence. Focal linear or atypical vessels were observed between the lesions, but no classic frog-spawn appearance or typical vascular structures were present. Histopathologic examination of serial sections showed mild acanthosis and papillomatosis. The superficial dermis exhibited mild vascular dilatation accompanied by a sparse perivascular inflammatory infiltrate. Crucially, elastic tissue staining revealed fragmented and markedly reduced elastic fibers within the papillary dermis. Consequently, the diagnosis of pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis was established.
