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

Sweet syndrome (SS) is an acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by a constellation of clinical symptoms and histologic findings: pyrexia, neutrophilia, and tender and erythematous cutaneous lesions (plaques, nodules, and papules) with neutrophilic infiltration of the upper reticular dermis. SS can be either an inflammatory disease or a hypersensitivity disorder. SS has been associated with autoimmune disease, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and sarcoidosis. We herein present a case of a 70-year-old white male presenting for persistent fevers, rash, intermittent diarrhea, and hematochezia. The patient had marked improvement of his clinical symptoms following systemic corticosteroid treatment. He was diagnosed with SS and ileocecal Crohn's disease (CD). This article highlights the need to rule out CD in the setting of SS and gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations.
