Toxic epidermal necrolysis following a furosemide injection: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundToxic epidermal necrolysis is a life threatening adverse cutaneous reaction mostly following drug administration. It is characterized by extensive detachment of skin and mucous membranes with a more than 30% total body surface area involvement. We document a rare occurrence of Toxic epidermal necrolysis following a furosemide injection. CASE PRESENTATION: A one-year-old female from Eastern Uganda was referred to our facility with history of a generalized skin eruption that started 2 days after a furosemide injection. On admission, she had extensive skin sloughing involving the face, trunk and limbs with 60% total body surface area involvement. A diagnosis of Toxic epidermal necrolysis was made, and she was started on supportive care. She showed initial improvement but later the parents left the hospital against medical advice and she died from home.
conclusionFurosemide a drug with structural similarities with Sulphonamide antibiotics, has been associated with the rare but life-threatening adverse reaction, Toxic epidermal necrolysis. This case report documents a possible case of Toxic epidermal necrolysis in a child following a furosemide injection to increase awareness amongst clinicians.
