Extensive phlegmon and pyoderma gangrenosum: diagnostic difficulties.
Article in Postepy dermatologii i alergologii, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a relatively rare neutrophilic dermatosis, characterized by progressive skin necrosis. It typically has a chronic course, of unknown etiology. Pyoderma gangrenosum diagnosis can be difficult because both histopathological examination and results of additional laboratory tests are not specific and the clinical state is conclusive, as for other physicians it poses a number of diagnostic dilemmas. Therefore, this condition should be treated interdisciplinary. We present a case of a 40-year-old patient with a diagnosis of PG, which in the early stages of the disease was treated as an extensive phlegmon by physicians of other specialties and it presented a serious diagnostic as well as therapeutic problem.
