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.
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 (PG) is a sterile inflammatory neutrophilic dermatosis that can present as a peristomal, pustular, bullous, vegetative, or ulcerative variant. It commonly affects the lower extremities, mainly in the pretibial area. We describe a case of extensive PG in an 18-year-old Indonesian man, involving the upper third of the body. Dermatological examination showed multiple painful ulcers with violaceous borders on the face, occipital region of scalp, neck, shoulder, upper chest, and back. The diagnosis of PG was established based on the histopathological examination that revealed massive dermal neutrophilic infiltration mixed with lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrates accompanied by leukocytoclastic vasculitis. The patient was treated with methylprednisolone equivalent to 1 mg/kg/day of prednisone. An excellent response to therapy also confirmed the diagnosis of PG. Since lesions of PG can appear on any part of the body, including the upper third of the body, a complete and appropriate examination is useful in establishing diagnosis.
