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

We present a rare case of a 61-year-old woman presenting with a widespread erosive eruption on her torso and extremities. Although the lesions were histologically compatible with toxic epidermal necrolysis, clinically the patient was hemodynamically stable, had no mucosal involvement and had no relevant medical history or potentially incriminating medications. Further investigations uncovered a new diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, with this toxic epidermal necrolysis-like eruption being the first presentation of the disease. This case highlights the importance of broadening the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with acute widespread cleavage of the epidermis, using the spectrum of acute syndrome of apoptotic pan-epidermolysis as a reference.
