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

Cutaneous vasculitis is frequently present in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren's syndrome and is less common in dermatomyositis, systemic sclerosis, and relapsing polychondritis. Given the low prevalence of vasculitic involvement in this disease, the skin lesions described so far have had minimal semiological characterization. This has limited the provision of clear guidelines regarding their treatment, with most therapeutic interventions being extrapolated from idiopathic chronic leukocytoclastic vasculitis. We present the case of a female patient in her fifth decade of life who presented with superficial skin ulcers on the forearms as an initial manifestation, due to vasculitic involvement of small vessels secondary to SLE.
