Vancomycin- induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis in a patient with end-stage renal disease: a case report and literature review.
Review in Daru : journal of Faculty of Pharmacy, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 2025. 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
introductionLeukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is a small-vessel inflammatory condition that can rarely occur as an adverse drug reaction (ADR). Vancomycin-induced LCV is an uncommon but potentially serious complication, particularly in patients with pre-existing renal impairment. REASON FOR THE REPORT: This case report describes a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who developed LCV following vancomycin therapy for a catheter-related infection. The report emphasizes the diagnostic challenges and the importance of prompt and appropriate management of this ADR. A 53-year-old male with ESRD developed skin lesions and systemic symptoms after receiving vancomycin for catheter-related infection. The diagnosis of LCV was confirmed through a skin biopsy. Discontinuation of vancomycin with initiation of mycophenolate mofetil and prednisolone resulted in significant improvement in the patient's condition. OUTCOME: The presented case underlines the recognition of vancomycin-induced LCV, especially in the vulnerable population of patients with ESRD. It emphasizes the need for a high degree of suspicion of drug-related adverse events and early diagnosis and management to achieve good outcomes. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
