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

We describe the case of a 17-year-old female who presented with the acute onset of painful genital ulcers after experiencing a week of flu-like symptoms. A physical exam revealed two 1 cm necrotic ulcers on the right vulva with an erythematous margin and overlying exudate. A diagnosis of Lipschütz ulcers was made based on the classic signs and symptoms, in addition to ruling out relevant infectious and inflammatory diseases. Our goal in presenting this case is to add to the literature and increase awareness regarding this uncommon condition. The differential diagnosis and workup for genital ulcers can be extensive, but when diagnosed correctly, treatment and reassurance can provide great comfort for the patient.
