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: Baboon syndrome, also known as symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE), is a rare reaction characterised by distinct, bilateral erythema in the flexural and intertriginous regions, occurring without systemic symptoms. Case Presentation: We present a 53-year-old gentleman who, 3 days after commencing diclofenac potassium for knee pain, exhibited symmetrical, well-defined erythema affecting the neck, axillae, cubital and popliteal fossae, forearms, inguinal folds, thighs, legs, and feet. He displayed no systemic symptoms or fever. The time and distinctive distribution of SDRIFE induced by diclofenac potassium were congruent. Management and Outcome: Following the cessation of diclofenac potassium, the patient received topical corticosteroids and oral antihistamines. The symptoms resolved after 1 week. Conclusion: This case highlights the necessity for physicians to identify this presentation for prompt diagnosis and care and also indicates diclofenac potassium as a possible cause of SDRIFE.
