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

Radiation recall dermatitis (RRD) is a rare phenomenon. There are a few reports in the literature reporting RRD triggered by quinolone administration after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). We present an unusual case of RRD induced by cefadroxil, which occurred months after completion of EBRT. A patient underwent accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) to the right breast, which she finished without any side effects to the skin. She then underwent a left hip replacement and was placed on an antibiotic called cefadroxil 500 mg BID (twice a day), which correlated with a sudden redness in the right breast. The antibiotic was stopped, and her affected breast was treated with clobetasol cream 0.05%, and the patient's RRD resolved. We review literature emphasizing cefadroxil antibiotic as a causative agent of RRD.
