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

Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic widely prescribed for several conditions, including acne, rosacea, and chlamydial and staphylococcal infections. Although cutaneous adverse reactions are known, severe immediate hypersensitivity requiring intensive care is rare. Even less common is prolonged urticaria persisting after drug discontinuation. A 16-year-old female patient developed diffuse urticaria and angioedema requiring intensive care within four days of minocycline initiation. Despite discontinuation and acute management, recurrent urticarial episodes occurred for over 12 months without re-exposure, requiring intermittent corticosteroid treatment. Causality assessment using the Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale (score 7) indicated a probable association between minocycline and the observed reaction. This report highlights an uncommon clinical course of minocycline-induced angioedema with chronic recurrent urticaria persisting long after drug withdrawal.
