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

Erythema nodosum (EN) is inflammation of subcutaneous fat. Etiologies include autoimmune diseases, drugs, infections, pregnancy, malignancy, and idiopathic origins. A 37-year-old female with a history of recurrent cellulitis and type II diabetes presented with worsening swollen lumps on upper extremities for four months during a Hurley Stage III hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) flare. Exam revealed multiple erythematous pustules and warm indurated nodules over diffuse edema on the upper extremities. Lesions were refractory to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, cefalexin, clindamycin, and levofloxacin. Routine blood labs, ESR, and ANA were unremarkable. EN was diagnosed. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, saturated solution potassium iodide (SSKI), and ibuprofen were prescribed. At the three-week follow-up, EN completely resolved the issue except for one lesion. Literature review revealed one case of EN manifestation in association with HS but was complicated by Beçhet's syndrome. We propose HS as an underlying cause of EN and SSKI an effective treatment for EN and HS.
