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 reactive, non-infectious inflammatory neutrophilic dermatoses that have historically presented as a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. It is often misdiagnosed as other disease processes, particularly ulcers, and is thus associated with a delay in care. Pyoderma gangrenosum, left untreated, carries a three times mortality risk compared to the general population. There are multiple subtypes and presentations reflected in the current research which shows that there is still much to be understood about this disorder. Here we examine the unique presentation of a vegetative type of pyoderma gangrenosum through the case of a 69-year-old male that presents with a persistent lesion on his foot.
