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
Erythroderma is challenging to diagnose. The aim of this single-centre retrospective study was to identify factors that can be used to improve the diagnosis of erythroderma. Among 91 patients with erythroderma, 21 were diagnosed with eczema, 17 with psoriasis, 20 with drug-induced erythroderma, 13 with erythrodermic mycosis fungoides and 20 with Sézary syndrome. Nail alterations, ear involvement, and severe scaling were significantly associated with psoriasis (p = 0.044). Fever and hypereosinophilia were associated with drug-induced erythroderma. Expression of programmed cell death protein 1 was observed in all skin biopsies. However, with Sézary syndrome, programmed cell death protein 1 expression was significantly higher than with other aetiologies. A programmed cell death protein 1 hormone receptor score (H-score) >50 was associated with Sézary syndrome (p < 0.001, sensitivity 75%, specificity 92%) as well as CXCL13 expression (p < 0.044). CD7 loss was more frequent with erythrodermic mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome (p = 0.022). This study reports the importance of programmed cell death protein 1 expression for the differential diagnosis of Sézary syndrome and other aetiologies, including erythrodermic mycosis fungoides.
