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

Patients with underlying malignancy who develop new skin findings while acutely ill often require skin biopsy for histologic evaluation and/or culture to reach a diagnosis. Here, we present the case of a 53-year-old male with relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma on chemotherapy who developed new skin lesions on the leg. On exam, there were 2 nickel-sized, erythematous to violaceous round plaques with central necrotic cores on the right lower leg with relatively nonspecific clinical features for which the initial differential diagnosis was broad. Consensus on a diagnosis was reached upon histologic evaluation of his skin biopsy in the context of his clinical setting. This diagnosis led to a change in treatment plan, with subsequent clinical improvement.
