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

Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening mucocutaneous reactions that are predominantly drug-induced. Treatment varies depending on the severity, but even with accurate medical management, the mortality rate can be up to 50% in severe cases. Recurrent episodes with different agents are uncommon, but they have been reported in the literature. We present a case of a 30-year-old female presenting with recurrent SJS/TEN overlap syndrome complicated by sepsis after phenytoin use. Records revealed a previous episode after carbamazepine use one month prior to the current presentation and a first episode 23 years ago with an unknown medication. The offending agent was discontinued, the appropriate treatment was given, and the patient's clinical status significantly improved. This case highlights the life-threatening manifestation of a mucocutaneous reaction. Prompt clinical assessment is paramount for patient survival.
