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

Panniculitis comprises a group of diseases characterized by inflammation of the subcutaneous fat, and may present as a distinctive cutaneous paraneoplastic syndrome. Herein, we describe a case of paraneoplastic panniculitis caused by a duodenal neoplasm. The 79-year-old man presented with painful erythematous subcutaneous nodules on the lower extremities without any gastrointestinal symptoms. Histopathological manifestations of the skin included fat necrosis, calcification, and ghost cells. Laboratory test results revealed significantly elevated serum lipase levels (4144.7 U/L). Imaging revealed a normal pancreas, but identified a duodenal tumor with liver metastases. The patient was diagnosed with panniculitis secondary to a duodenal neoplasm with hepatic metastases and died 3 months after diagnosis. This case highlights panniculitis as a warning sign of occult duodenal neoplasms, facilitating clinical diagnosis and intervention.
