Cutaneous Small-Vessel Vasculitis Induced by Escitalopram: A Case-Based Brief Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A 65-year-old male with multiple comorbidities and recently diagnosed with diabetic kidney disease developed upper and lower extremity rash following escitalopram initiation for his depressive mood. Clinical assessment and skin biopsy confirmed cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis (CSVV), prompting drug discontinuation and oral methylprednisolone therapy. The resolution of the rash was achieved within a week. This rare case of CSVV induced by escitalopram highlights the importance of timely recognition and management of drug-induced CSVV and adds to the limited literature on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor-associated CSVV.
