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

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare inflammatory ulcerative skin disease characterized by painful, progressive necrosis of wound margins. A 34-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with progressive ulcerative lesion at the wound site after endovenous laser ablation and varicose vein surgery. Although parenteral antibiotherapy was initiated with the diagnosis of wound infection, rapid progression was observed in the lesion. Skin biopsy was performed, and the patient was started on empirical prednisolone treatment with the diagnosis of pyoderma gangrenosum. Complete healing was achieved in the lesion. In conclusion, pyoderma gangrenosum should be considered in the differential diagnosis of postoperative delayed wound healing.
