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

Eosinophilic annular erythema (EAE) is a rare skin disease characterized by relapsing and remitting pruritic, annular erythematous plaques and tissue eosinophilia. A 39-year-old male presented with a mildly pruritic, relapsing, and remitting urticarial rash. A biopsy revealed superficial and deep perivascular dermatitis with numerous eosinophils and some neutrophils, with an absence of flame figures. Based on clinical and histopathologic findings, the patient was given a diagnosis of eosinophilic annular erythema. Treatment was initiated with doxycycline 100 mg twice daily. The patient reported substantial improvement at three months and sustained clearance at one year, remaining on doxycycline well tolerated throughout. To our knowledge, no cases of EAE improving with doxycycline have been reported in the literature and, thus, our findings highlight a potential new therapy to consider in a patient with EAE.
