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

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is an uncommon but potentially fatal hypersensitivity response, commonly triggered by medications such as antiepileptics and antibiotics. It typically presents with rash, fever, hematologic abnormalities, lymphadenopathy, and internal organ involvement-most commonly affecting the liver. We report a case of a 79-year-old woman with hypertension and dyslipidemia who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis with early pancreatitis. Postoperatively, she developed persistent cholestatic liver injury without biliary obstruction. Ten days later, she presented with fatigue, a diffuse maculopapular rash, and elevated cholestatic liver enzymes and lipase. Skin biopsy revealed features consistent with drug-induced hypersensitivity. Using the RegiSCAR scoring system, the case met criteria for
