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
The presentation of erythema multiforme in the emergency department is relatively rare, thus recognition and rapid intervention requires a high index of suspicion. This study presents a case of a 55-year-old female with past medical history of hypertension and active endometrial cancer with recent chemotherapy treatment complaining of four days of progressive erythematous rash with associated pruritis and blistering. An exam found multiple tense, scattered vesicles with an erythematous base. The patient also demonstrated leukopenia, elevated alkaline phosphatase level, and elevated C-reactive protein level. A shave biopsy was performed and intravenous acyclovir was started for concern of varicella-zoster virus. Biopsy results favored an erythema multiforme diagnosis, and she was discharged with topical clobetasol. In addition to reviewing the presentation and intervention of erythema multiforme, this case report adds to growing literature of erythema multiforme as a delayed reaction to malignancy therapy. Topics: Erythema multiforme, dermatology, radiotherapy.
