Ciprofloxacin-Induced Near-Total Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Complicated by Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Case Report With ALDEN-Based Causality Assessment.
Article in Clinical 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
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare but life-threatening mucocutaneous adverse drug reaction characterized by widespread epidermal necrosis and detachment with significant mucosal involvement. We report a case of near total (80%-90%) body surface area TEN in a previously healthy 30-year-old man that developed approximately 5 days after completing a 5-day course of oral ciprofloxacin. The presentation was complicated by upper gastrointestinal bleeding with transient hemodynamic instability. Prompt withdrawal of the offending drug, aggressive supportive care in the intensive care unit, wound management, and multidisciplinary care led to successful recovery. Causality was assessed using the ALDEN (Algorithm of Drug Causality for Epidermal Necrolysis) score, which supported a probable association with ciprofloxacin. This case emphasizes the need for vigilance regarding fluoroquinolone-associated severe cutaneous adverse reactions even after short-term use, and the utility of structured causality assessment tools.
