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

A 22-year-old female presented with generalised lichenification and severe pruritus, along with multiple annular papules and concentric plaques over trunk and extremities for the last 3 years. Her haematological investigations revealed leucocytosis with peripheral blood eosinophilia and raised serum IgE levels. Skin biopsy showed perivascular and interstitial infiltrate of eosinophils and lymphocytes in the dermis. Bone marrow examination showed myeloid hypercellularity with increased number of eosinophils, but no atypical cells. Cytogenetic studies did not reveal any chromosomal alterations. No systemic involvement was found on imaging. A diagnosis of idiopathic skin-limited hypereosinophilic syndrome was made. She was treated with tapering doses of oral prednisolone and weekly methotrexate with significant improvement in skin lesions and pruritus in 2 months, which was maintained at 7-month follow-up.
