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

Exfoliative dermatitis (ED) is a rare and life-threatening dermatological emergency caused by a wide range of cutaneous or systemic conditions, such as inflammatory dermatosis, drug reactions, and malignancies. We report a case of a 77-year-old man who developed ED five days after starting nitrofurantoin. The drug was withdrawn, and the patient was treated with topical corticosteroid and supportive care, after which there was a full recovery within a week. This report describes an uncommon entity with a guarded prognosis that requires proper diagnosis and management.
