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

backgroundThe Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) is a serious adverse reaction that occurs weeks after the onset of drug exposure. DRESS syndrome is commonly associated with antiseizure drugs, sulfa drugs, and antibiotics. CASE PRESENTATION: This was a case report of a 20-year-old female who suffered from DRESS due to vancomycin with symptoms similar to the Redman syndrome. The patient was a case of Infective endocarditis due to methicillin-resistant DISCUSSION: The clinical presentation of DRESS includes skin rash, fever, eosinophilia, and organ involvement. But, in this case, there was a varied initial presentation of DRESS with severe flushing, which mimics the Redman syndrome due to vancomycin. Difficulty in establishing organ involvement remained a challenge in diagnosing DRESS.

conclusionDRESS can have a varied clinical presentation. Careful monitoring of all vital parameters is important in preventing the misdiagnosis of DRESS syndrome.
