Skin Rash as a Side Effect of Bortezomib: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bortezomib is a novel proteasome inhibitor widely used in the treatment of multiple myeloma, especially in the case of recurrent, relapsing, or refractory myeloma. Its common side effects include nausea, vomiting, neuropathic pain, and hemorrhage. Cutaneous manifestations are considered rare. Here we report a case of a 72-year-old female patient, and a known case of multiple myeloma on VRD protocol (bortezomib [Velcade] combined with lenalidominde [Revlimid] and dexamethasone) after relapse. The patient presented with a complaint of raised, itchy, erythematous skin rash, starting in the soles and palms and then spreading to the whole body. A skin biopsy confirmed that the lesions were due to an allergic reaction. The patient was admitted as a case of sepsis and died. Skin rash is considered a rare side effect of bortezomib, with variable presentation and onset. The mainstay of treatment is corticosteroids.
