Cutaneous Lyme borreliosis: Guideline of the German Dermatology Society.
Guideline in German medical science : GMS e-journal, 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
The current S2k guideline "kutane Borreliose" has been updated in accordance with the methodological standards of the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften e.V.". It has received consensus from 18 AWMF member societies, the Robert Koch Institute, the "Paul-Ehrlich-Gesellschaft für Infektionstherapie e.V.", "Instand e.V. - Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Qualitätssicherung in medizinischen Laboratorien", the "Deutsche Borreliose-Gesellschaft" and the two German patient organisations "Borreliose und FSME Bund Deutschland" and "Aktionsbündnis gegen zeckenübertragene Infektionen Deutschland e.V.". This guideline of the German Dermatology Society primarily focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous manifestations of Lyme borreliosis and is directed at physicians in private practices and clinics who treat Lyme borreliosis. Objectives of this guideline are recommendations for confirming a clinical diagnosis, recommendations for a stage-related laboratory diagnosis and recommendations for the treatment of the different manifestations erythema migrans, multiple erythemata migrantia, borrelial lymphocytoma, and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans. The current update of the guideline incorporates the international literature on cutaneous manifestations of Lyme borreliosis up to 2022. There have been no significant changes in diagnosis and treatment. The Cochrane network analysis on the treatment of erythema migrans has only shown that, in addition to doxycycline and amoxicillin, oral penicillin V is equally effective. A Slovenian analysis of patients with acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans over the past 30 years has shown a decrease in the incidence of constitutional symptoms and atrophy, likely due to improved early detection. In addition, an information sheet for patients containing recommendations for the prevention of Lyme borreliosis is attached to the guideline.
