An observational study of cutaneous adverse drug reactions in a teaching hospital.
Observational study in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPharmacotherapy is often impeded by adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Among these ADRs cutaneous reactions are the major class being easily identified and reported. If not noted early it has potential to develop into serious lesions.
objectiveTo evaluate the clinical patterns of various drug induced cutaneous reactions. Setting A Teaching hospital in India. Methods All suspected cutaneous reactions to systemic drugs which were submitted to the ADR monitoring centre during a 6-month period (March 2014-August 2014) were analysed. Causality relationship, severity assessment and preventability assessment was also done.
resultsOut of 134 cutaneous ADRs, 56 % occurred in females, majority of cases were found in the age group of 41-50 years. The most common type of ADR was maculopapular rash (46.3 %) and majorly implicated drug class was antibiotics (51.3 %). Most (72.3 %) were mild. Polypharmacy and multiple comorbid conditions were important predisposing factors. Over half of the cases (58 %) were not preventable.
conclusionCutaneous adverse reaction patterns and their causes vary as the result of changing use of drugs. In India, antibiotics are responsible for the majority of the cutaneous adverse drug reactions, and maculopapular rash is the side effect that is most reported.
