An Unusual Rash in a Five-Year-Old Girl: Blaschkoid Distribution Is the Key to the Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Lichen striatus is a rare dermatological condition seen in children. The exact etiology of this self-limiting eruption is unknown. A combination of genetic predisposition with an infectious trigger is the most accepted hypothesis for the etiology. Treatment is typically not necessary, as the disease is self-limiting. Treatment options with topical low to mid-potency corticosteroids may be used for symptomatic treatment of pruritus, however, it does not alter the course of the disease or post-inflammatory dyspigmentation. Successful treatment of skin lesions with calcineurin inhibitors is reported in isolated studies. The rapidly growing lesion of lichen striatus can cause considerable parental anxiety. Familiarity with this condition for primary care pediatricians is necessary to make the correct diagnosis and to alleviate parental anxiety. Here, we present a case of lichen striatus albus, a variant of lichen striatus, in a five-year-old girl presenting as a skin rash.
