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
This case report describes the first case of acute generalised erythematous pustulosis (AGEP) following cervical spinal surgery. A 74-year-old male post-operatively developed a painful, exudative bullous rash progressing from the posterior cervical wound site. Initial management with antibiotics for suspected cellulitis failed, leading to further investigation and a diagnosis of AGEP by dermatology. Treatment with topical steroids resulted in rapid improvement, indicating the importance of early recognition and intervention. The patient developed secondary wound infection requiring surgical debridement. AGEP is linked to IL36RN gene mutations. This case underscores the necessity for clinicians to consider AGEP in peri-operative skin reactions, emphasizing early steroid intervention and vigilant monitoring for secondary infections.
