A Clinico-Epidemiological Study of Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions in a Tertiary Care Centre of Eastern India.
Article in Indian journal of 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
Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are major problems in the drug therapy. Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) are the most common ADRs. The pattern of CADRs differs among various drugs. Aims: To record various morphological patterns of CADRs and their causal relationships among patients attending in a tertiary care centre. Materials and Methods: An observational, cross-sectional, clinical study was conducted for a duration of one and a half years in a tertiary care centre in eastern India. Patients presenting with suspected CADRs were included if drug identity could be ascertained. Clinical profiling and drug history were recorded, and causality assessment was carried out as per the Naranjo scale. Result: The commonest CADR in our study was fixed drug eruption (FDE) 48.61%, followed by SJS-TEN spectrum 16.66%, maculopapular rash 11.11% and so on. Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) such as SJS, TEN, SJS-TEN Overlap, AGEP and DRESS accounted for 18 cases (25%). The most common culprit drugs were antimicrobials (54.16%), followed by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (15.27%) and anticonvulsants (12.5%). Most of the CADRs were in probable category. Conclusion: The pattern of CADRs and the drugs causing them in our study population are similar to some previous studies but somewhat different from most of the previous Indian studies. The incidence of SCARs was significantly higher than in previous other studies in India and abroad.
