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

backgroundWells syndrome is a rare idiopathic dermatosis of the eosinophilic spectrum. Diagnostic criteria include cutaneous eruptions of variable morphology with eosinophilic infiltrates, peripheral blood eosinophilia, a relapsing, remitting course, and exclusion of systemic disease. Diagnosis is often delayed. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 28-year older man with recently developed pruritic and sometimes painful erythema. His medical history was positive for coughing in the evening that started in November 2012. Later, a pansinusitis developed. Early diagnosis improves the outcome.

conclusionStandardized treatment has yet to be developed. In our case, systemic corticosteroids were of limited value only.
