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

Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa (ENV) is a rare complication of chronic lymphedema, leading to progressive cutaneous hypertrophy and disfigured lower extremities. We present an unusual case of a 79-year-old man with ENV, who had an episode of erysipelas treated and cured with antibiotics. The patient presented with progressive painless lymphedema of the lower limb years ago, complicated with skin changes. The biology and radiology test does not objective any causes. The compression therapy was proposed to the patient. ENV is characterized by lymphedema and skin anomaly. Management of ENV is often challenging, but a variety of successful medical and surgical treatment strategies have been reported.
