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

Introduction: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory skin disease causing progressive necrotizing ulcers with limited treatment options due to adverse effects and high recurrence rates. Case Presentation: We present a case of a 70-year-old elderly patient diagnosed as PG, which was unresponsive to initial prednisolone treatment. After approximately 3 weeks of an individualized treatment regimen of adalimumab combined with tofacitinib, disease progression was halted, accompanied by a significant reduction in ulcer size, reduced exudation, and substantial pain relief. Subsequent tapering and discontinuation of prednisolone, followed by 6 weeks of combined adalimumab and tofacitinib and 8 weeks of tofacitinib monotherapy, resulted in complete ulcer healing by week 17. No recurrence of inflammatory activity was observed during the follow-up period of over 7 months. Conclusion: This case highlights the successful and rapid efficacy of adalimumab and tofacitinib combination therapy for PG, offering a novel strategic reference for individualized treatment, particularly in recurrent or cases unresponsive to initial treatment.
