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

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare neutrophilic inflammatory skin disease. Systemic corticosteroid and immunosuppressive agents are the mainstay treatment. PG usually precludes a surgical approach due to pathergy phenomenon. Recent literatures show skin grafting and negative pressure wound therapy are safe if performed under adequate immunosuppression. We present a case of a 61-year-old male patient suffered from PG induced left posterior leg wound with Achilles tendon exposure. We made timely diagnosis and treated him with adequate immunosuppression therapy followed by perforator propeller flap for wound coverage. This case report emphasizes the need for high index of suspicion for PG diagnosis. Furthermore, with adequate immunosuppression, operative intervention may not be an absolute contraindication for PG.
