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

A female neonate, the second child of non-consanguineous parents without a family history of similar disease, was born with erosions and small blisters on the perioral area, oral cavity, and digits, along with a large blister on the buttocks. Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) was suspected, and she was referred to our hospital on the day of birth. Skin biopsy from the right upper arm revealed histopathological clefting at the dermoepidermal junction, and electron microscopy demonstrated intraepidermal blister formation with keratin aggregates. Genetic analysis confirmed a p.Asn176Ile mutation in the KRT5 gene, and, based on the clinical presentation, a diagnosis of severe generalized EB simplex (EBS) (Dowling-Meara (DM) type) was made. On day 5 of life, she developed fever, and blood culture yielded methicillin-susceptible
