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

This article presents the case of a rapidly progressing pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) following a minor trauma and surgical intervention. A 46-year-old patient was admitted to hospital after a minor trauma of the right lower leg with a suspected diagnosis of erysipelas bullosum. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed the suspicion of necrotizing fasciitis (NF) with indications for immediate incision and fascia resection. According to the results of the histopathological analysis and microbiological assessment without signs for a bacterial infection, high-dose steroid treatment and immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporin A were initiated under the assumption of PG. Additionally, the patient was treated with hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO). The 2‑year follow-up showed a gradual restitution of the soft tissues.
