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

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare disease characterized by ulcerative cutaneous lesions that can occur postoperatively and is often associated with autoimmune disorders. PG is diagnosed by excluding other conditions that can cause ulcerations, such as infections, which may also result in immunosuppressive treatment delays and suboptimal wound care. Operative debridement of wounds has traditionally been avoided in the acute setting secondary to pathergy. This article presents a case of extensive breast PG that was successfully treated with surgical debridement, porcine-derived extracellular matrix, and negative pressure wound therapy while on systemic immunosuppressive therapy.
