A case of Rowell syndrome after a herpes simplex infection and prolonged sun exposure.

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
Rowell Syndrome is a rare entity combining erythema exudativum multiforme (EEM) and lupus erythematosus (LE). Zeitouni et al. redefined Rowell Syndrome's diagnostic criteria. Major criteria include: (1) LE (systemic, discoid or subacute cutaneous), (2) EEM-like skin lesions and (3) speckled pattern of antinuclear antibodies. Minor criteria comprise: (1) chilblains, (2) positive anti-SSA/Ro or anti-SSB/La antibodies and (3) positive rheumatoid factor. The diagnosis is achieved when all major criteria and at least one minor criterion are present. Prognosis and treatment regimens are those of EEM and LE, with reported good response to oral cortisone, azathioprine, cyclosporine, dapsone, antimalarials and methotrexate. We present a case of Rowell Syndrome in a young adult after a herpes simplex type 1 infection and unprotected sun exposure, with good response to both topical corticosteroids and calcineurin-inhibitors.
