Skin-Picking Disorder: A Guide to Diagnosis and Management.

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
Skin-picking disorder, also known as excoriation disorder or psychogenic skin excoriations, is an obsessive-compulsive and related disorder that is classified with other body-focused repetitive-behavior disorders in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Skin-picking disorder is associated with significant comorbidity and psychosocial dysfunction. The disorder has a female predominance across studies, and the average age of onset is variable but commonly in adolescence and adulthood. A full clinical and dermatologic examination and multidisciplinary approach is important in the diagnosis of this condition. There is no specific or recommended treatment option, but cognitive-behavioral therapy, particularly habit-reversal therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy have shown promise. Various pharmacological interventions have also been described to treat this condition in case reports and open and controlled trials. Specific classes of agents implemented include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, and glutaminergic-modulating agents. SSRIs and N-acetylcysteine have been shown to be the most effective of the pharmacological interventions.
