Treatment of Prurigo Pigmentosa with Diet Modification: A Medical Case Study.
Article in Hawai'i journal of medicine & public health : a journal of Asia Pacific Medicine & Public Health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Prurigo pigmentosa is a rare inflammatory dermatitis first described in 1971. While the etiology of Prurigo pigmentosa is yet unknown, conditions associated with ketosis often accompany this rash. Prurigo pigmentosa is successfully treated with antibiotics and by resolution of ketosis. However, there is no dietary treatment option to successfully treat the rash without sacrificing ketosis. We report two cases successfully treated with increase of dietary carbohydrate intake. The second case suggests that cessation of ketosis may not be necessary to resolve Prurigo pigmentosa.
