Pyoderma gangrenosum after cesarean section treated with skin graft: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
rationalePyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare skin disease. Pregnancy is a unique physiological condition. Here we report a rare case of PG after cesarean section. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 32-year-old female presented with wound breakdown 1 day after cesarean section, with progression to a skin ulcer and no response to antibiotic therapy. DIAGNOSES: We experienced a case of PG after cesarean section. This was initially misdiagnosed as a wound infection, with fever and wound redness as clinical manifestations.
interventionsThe patient was initially treated with antibiotics, followed by glucocorticoid and human immunoglobulin therapy. Wound debridement, vacuum sealing negative pressure drainage, skin grafting, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy were also performed. OUTCOMES: The wound healed without adverse reactions. LESSONS: When a surgical incision infection does not respond to antibiotic treatment and the culture is negative, PG should be considered.
