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

backgroundPyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, ulcerative, destructive, non-infectious dermatologic disease and it is one clinical entity within the spectrum of neutrophilic dermatoses. Visceral involvement, manifesting as sterile neutrophilic infiltrates in sites other than skin and, is infrequent. Splenic involvement is very rare. MAIN OBSERVATIONS: We present a case of a 58-year-old woman with pyoderma gangrenosum with spleen involvement and review all reports of similar cases.We have found nine reported cases, our case being the tenth.

conclusionOur review showed that spleen involvement in the course of pyoderma gangrenosum can occur at any age. It is slightly more frequent in men. An underlying or associated neutrophilic disorder is present in almost half of the patients. Skin manifestations were usually present before splenic involvement. In most cases the disese responds well to glucocorticosteroids.
