More Than Just Mosquito Bites: A Travel-Associated Case of Cutaneous Small-Vessel Vasculitis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 39-year-old man presented with a bilateral lower limb pruritic and purpuric rash following travel to Chongqing, China. He was initially treated for cellulitis abroad. On arrival, his rash was noted, and the initial workup revealed raised inflammatory markers with a CRP of 252 mg/L and an ESR of 80 mm/hr. Examination of the lower limb reveals symmetrical, non-blanchable purpuric plaques with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. He was admitted for further inpatient treatment. Serological workup for autoimmune vasculitis was negative. Urine phase contrast microscopy showed 12% dysmorphic red blood cells, below the threshold typically seen in glomerular bleeding. A punch biopsy revealed minimal, superficial perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate without classic vasculitic features, likely due to timing post-acute inflammation. The clinical workup and examination findings support a diagnosis of post-infectious cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis (CSVV). This case demonstrates the classic distribution and morphology of CSVV. Early recognition of CSVV facilitates prompt systemic evaluation and discontinuation of potential triggers and avoids unnecessary antibiotic use.
