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.
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
A 65-year-old woman successfully treated for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Hepatitis C virus was diagnosed with porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) and treated by phlebotomies. She developed extensive psoriatic skin lesions resistant to topical treatments and methotrexate. She then received the anti-interleukin-17 (IL-17) secukinumab (Cosentyx) which improved her psoriatic skin lesions. Unexpectedly, her PCT skin lesions healed, allowing phlebotomy discontinuation over 2 years. Without lesions, the patient decided to discontinue secukinumab, leading to the recurrence of psoriatic and PCT skin lesions, which were controlled upon therapeutical rechallenge. No AIDS-related manifestations or infections developed, her CD4 count remained elevated and her HIV viral load was controlled under antiretroviral therapy. Both skin conditions and consequently the patient's quality of life have improved with secukinumab, allowing exposure to sunlight and phlebotomy discontinuation for >4 years. Likely, the IL-17 pathway is involved in the clinical manifestations of PCT, opening new avenues for therapeutical interventions.
