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

Calciphylaxis is a rare disease that usually affects patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), also known as uremic calcific arteriolopathy. Calciphylaxis typically presents as an extremely painful skin nodule that progresses to ulcerated and frequently gangrenous lesions. Diagnosis can be difficult and treatment relies on a multidisciplinary approach to care. The following case describes a medically complex 37-year-old male patient with a painful penile calciphylaxis lesion. Calciphylaxis is a complex systemic disease that is difficult to diagnose. We highlighted in this case the importance of having a high index of suspicion in ESRD patients who present with a painful penile lesion.
