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

We present a case of severe and atypical Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms/Drug-induced hypersensitivity Symptoms (DRESS/DiHS), also known as DiHS, in a 46-year-old Chinese woman, triggered by bortezomib (Velcade), a proteasome inhibitor, commonly used for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Bortezomib-induced DRESS/DiHS syndrome is rare, with this being the second case documented in the literature. The patient presented with severe erythroderma with ichthyosis-like features, hypereosinophilia, and liver injury. Initial response to high dose of solumedrol was followed by relapses upon switching to oral prednisone. Ultimately, the patient responded to dupilumab and maintained complete remission.
