Hidden Drug Rash With Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS): A Rare Case of Preceding Organ Damage Before Skin Manifestations.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction that can cause significant organ injury. Unlike anaphylaxis, it often goes unnoticed because the skin eruptions develop slowly. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with eosinophilia and acute kidney injury. Two weeks earlier, she had been treated with minocycline hydrochloride for a giant liver cyst. No rash was initially observed, but by the third day of admission, a widespread eruption appeared. She was diagnosed with minocycline-induced DRESS and treated with oral prednisolone, which was tapered after hemodialysis was discontinued. She was later transferred back to her previous hospital for rehabilitation. This case highlights that many drugs can trigger DRESS syndrome and that serious organ damage may precede the onset of rash. Clinicians should remain alert to this possibility when evaluating patients with unexplained organ dysfunction.
