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

Green discoloration of the skin is an uncommon clinical finding that can cause significant alarm among patients and caregivers. We present the case of a 92-year-old man residing in a nursing facility with a past medical history significant for hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, stage 3a chronic kidney disease, chronic venous insufficiency, prior left ankle surgery with retained internal fixation hardware, and a history of deep venous thromboses who presented to the ED with acute-onset green discoloration of his left foot. The discoloration was first noticed by the nursing staff at his facility. The patient denied pain, fever, or chills. Physical examination revealed green discoloration of the plantar surface of the left foot, bilateral lower extremity edema with stasis dermatitis, chronic skin hyperkeratosis, onychomycosis, and a superficial skin laceration on the dorsal aspect of the foot. Laboratory evaluation demonstrated elevated blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels consistent with acute kidney injury and a normal lactate level. Radiography showed diffuse soft tissue edema without fracture. The Infectious Diseases service was consulted. Clinical assessment determined that the green discoloration was attributable to
