Nocturnal pruritus and sleep disturbance associated with dermatologic disorders in adult patients.
Review in International journal of women's dermatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Nocturnal pruritus (NP) is a relatively common reason for dermatologic consultation. Its pathophysiology is partially understood. Skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, urticaria, and prurigo nodularis are well-described causes of NP. The most distressing sequela of NP is sleep deficit, which can lead to physical and mental disturbances (e.g., daytime somnolence and fatigue) and negative emotional states that profoundly affect quality of life. However, this aspect of NP is often overlooked by dermatologists. It is essential to assess sleep quality in such patients and adopt appropriate measures to arrest the problem at an early stage. We conducted an evidence-based literature review to highlight the pathogenetic mechanisms of NP, identify dermatologic etiologies, and explore methods that have been used to assess the quality of sleep. Furthermore, we performed a systematic review of studies on sleep disturbance relevant to NP in patients with dermatologic conditions. Finally, we discuss the evidence on treatment options for NP and indicate therapies that may target both NP and sleep disturbance.
