Warfarin-induced skin necrosis concurrent with dengue fever: a case report highlighting diagnostic and management challenges in a conflict-affected region.

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
Warfarin-induced skin necrosis (WSN) is a rare but serious complication of anticoagulation therapy. This case report describes a 34-year-old male with mechanical heart valves on long-term warfarin therapy who developed WSN after self-medicating with a doubled warfarin dose following a two-week interruption due to limited healthcare access in a conflict-affected region. Concurrently, he was diagnosed with dengue fever, further complicating anticoagulation management due to thrombocytopenia. Prompt discontinuation of warfarin, intravenous vitamin K administration, and delayed initiation of enoxaparin after platelet recovery were key aspects of treatment. Surgical debridement of necrotic skin lesions was performed, resulting in stabilization and recovery. This case highlights the unique diagnostic and management challenges of WSN in the setting of a concurrent dengue infection, especially in resource-limited settings and conflict-affected areas. Early recognition and tailored intervention are essential to prevent severe complications and improve outcomes.
