Lucio Phenomenon: An Unusual Case of Skin Necrosis.
Article in Case reports in dermatology. 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
Introduction: Lucio leprosy is a non-nodular diffuse type of lepromatous leprosy first described by Lucio and Alvarado. Lucio phenomenon is a rare vasculonecrotic reaction characterized by cutaneous necrosis with minimal constitutional features. Case Presentation: We describe an unusual case of a 53-year-old man from Central India who had blisters, ulcers, and widespread erosions on his foot, forearms, and arms. The diagnosis of lepromatous leprosy with the Lucio phenomenon was established after thorough evaluation by clinical findings, histopathological findings, and slit-skin smear examination. Conclusion: Lucio phenomenon is an uncommon cause of cutaneous infarction and necrosis. Primary care physicians should keep a high index of suspicion in patients with cutaneous necrosis and minimal constitution features. Since leprosy is a relatively curable disease, primary care physicians should think of a rare form of lepromatous leprosy presenting with cutaneous necrosis, especially in non-endemic zones.
