A Case of Recurrent Idiopathic Pyoderma Gangrenosum.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 rare chronic neutrophilic dermatosis that can be associated with underlying conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease and neoplasms, or can be idiopathic. Classically, it presents as painful skin lesions. We present a case of a 54-year-old woman who got a synovial cyst removed from her left hand, which later aggravated into a non-healing wound, and subsequently a painful necrotic ulcer. The histological pattern combined with the clinical features suggested PG. General wound care was performed, associated with topical tacrolimus and oral corticotherapy with a good response. Three similar episodes with lesions scattered over the body followed and required a combination of other pharmacological alternatives. An extensive etiological study was carried out to screen secondary causes without any relevant findings. Therefore, an idiopathic relapsing PG was assumed. PG is poorly understood, underdiagnosed and hard to treat. It has a clear impact on the quality of life of the patient, so high suspicion and timely treatment are essential to minimize complications.
