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

Reaching a diagnosis of a cutaneous eruption in a Crohn's disease (CD) patient treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFα) can be challenging. Differential diagnosis must include extra-intestinal manifestations of CD, adverse reactions to the therapy itself as well as infectious diseases with cutaneous manifestations. We report the case of a 28-year-old man on infliximab for Crohn's colitis, who presented with painless, non-pruritic genital and body exanthema. After a thorough evaluation, early secondary syphilis was confirmed with a fluorescent treponemal antibodies-absorbed test. Intramuscular (IM) benzathine penicillin G 2.4 million units in a single dose was administered and clinical manifestations resolved completely within a couple of weeks.
