Review of Scabies in the Elderly.
Review in Dermatology and therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Scabies, an ectoparasitic infestation of the skin by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is a clinical problem of particular significance in the elderly population because of unique vulnerability factors. Such factors include reduced mobility, residency in grouped living facilities, and difficulty with implementation of certain treatments. There is also risk of transmission to nearby caretakers and cohabitants. Furthermore, the diagnosis of scabies can be difficult, as this condition can closely resemble other dermatologic diseases. Complicating the diagnosis in this group is the variety of medical settings in which these patients are evaluated, some of which may not be equipped to follow diagnostic guidelines. The diagnosis itself can be complex because of varying clinical presentation and mite burden. Finally, the transmissibility of scabies, especially in grouped living arrangements, makes prompt and proper treatment of this condition paramount. All of these factors present a unique challenge for the clinician treating elderly patients. This article aims to describe the susceptibility factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management considerations specific to elderly adults with scabies.
