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

Cyclosporine-induced folliculitis remains underreported and underrecognized in clinical practice, posing diagnostic challenges for dermatologists and clinicians. In this case report, we present a compelling case of cyclosporine-induced folliculitis. A 40-year-old patient with severe atopic dermatitis was treated with topical steroids, calcineurin inhibitor, and phototherapy for 6 months. After starting cyclosporine 150 mg, acne-like eruptions appeared, and a 4 mm skin biopsy revealed folliculitis and perifolliculitis. Cyclosporine-induced folliculitis is a rare adverse effect of cyclosporine therapy, requiring prompt management through dose adjustment, discontinuation, and adjunctive therapies.
