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 a typical skin fibroproliferative disease that can cause severe aesthetic and functional concerns. Pain and pruritus are the most common clinical symptoms of keloids, but the mechanisms underlying these symptoms remain unclear. The peripheral nervous system plays a pivotal role in the transmission of superficial sensation signals. Mounting evidence has shown potential correlations between disturbance in the peripheral nervous system and pain and pruritus in keloids. Here, we summarize the role of neurological dysfunction in the development of pain and pruritus, with a specific focus on neuroanatomical alterations, the dysfunction of sensory nerves, and neurogenic inflammation.
