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

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a serious, life-threatening cutaneous adverse reaction whose prevalence is widespread epidermal necrosis and detachment, mostly initiated by an adverse drug reaction. Muco-cutaneous manifestation is well-known, but severe systemic complications, specifically gastrointestinal complications and cardiac events, are extremely uncommon, with few cases reported in the literature. This case describes a 27-year-old man who was diagnosed with TEN after taking ibuprofen. He had colonic perforation and cardiopulmonary arrest despite systemic therapies and a multidisciplinary approach. The case study shows that even though TEN is associated with poor prognosis, there are rare serious complications, which are likely to be mediated in this case by the excessive systemic inflammatory response and coagulopathy due to sepsis, and have detrimental outcomes. These unusual complications must be detected early and dealt with aggressively to enhance patient survival in severe TEN.
