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

A 71-year-old patient presented with very painful ulcers after uterus-resection with the da Vinci® Surgical System 3 months before. The anamnesis revealed that in the past 10 months similar wounds had appeared after osteosynthesis of a humerus fracture and after breast biopsy. The patient had been unsuccessfully treated with different antibiotics and wound dressings for several months for a suspected superinfected, postoperative disturbed wound healing. None of the wounds became smaller or healed completely. After exclusion of relevant differential diagnoses pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) could be diagnosed and systemic immunosuppressive therapy was initiated. The pain improved rapidly and complete wound healing was achieved. Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rarely diagnosed autoimmune disease which often occurs after physical trauma such as surgical interventions. Because a correct diagnose is usually made late it is important to be aware of this disease to treat it early and correctly.
