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

This is the case report of a previously healthy four-year-old girl with a history of upper airway infection that was treated with a β-lactam antibiotic. She was seen in the emergency department one month later with vesiculobullous lesions with clear content that were isolated or grouped in rosettes. Direct immunofluorescence showed baseline linear positivity for immunoglobulin A (IgA) (+) and fibrinogen-positive bullous content with absent remaining immunosera expression. The observed results were compatible with linear IgA bullous dermatosis. After confirming the diagnosis and excluding glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, dapsone was added to the initial treatment with systemic and topical corticosteroids. This case report is a reminder of the importance of a high index of clinical suspicion for this condition to reach a timely diagnosis.
