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 31-year-old female with a history of systemic lupus erythematous, IgA nephropathy, and psoriasis presented with a one-month history of a painful, pruritic rash under the bilateral breasts and in the genital region. Cutaneous examination revealed a large, tender ulcer under the left breast with a shiny erythematous base and peripheral hypertrophic changes. Small ulcers were present on the bilateral inguinal folds, and the labia majora were edematous with multiple erythematous papules. Histological examination of the left breast revealed ulceration with granulomatous dermatitis, consistent with a diagnosis of metastatic Crohn's disease. Metastatic Crohn's disease is a rare cutaneous manifestation of Crohn's disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas in regions non-contiguous with the gastrointestinal tract. At the time of diagnosis, our patient reported no gastrointestinal symptoms aside from occasional blood-streaked stools from hemorrhoids. This case demonstrates the importance of considering the disease when a patient presents with intertriginous or genital lesions, even in the absence of systemic manifestations.
