Pityriasis rosea in pregnancy: A case series and literature review.
Review in Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft = Journal of the German Society of Dermatology : JDDG, 2022. 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivePityriasis rosea (PR), a common skin disease in young adults, may adversely affects the course of pregnancy and the unborn child. PATIENTS AND
methodsData from forty-six pregnant women with PR seen in the dermatological university clinic between 2003 and 2018 were analyzed and compared with patient data (n = 53) from previously published studies to determine the incidence and risk factors for an unfavorable pregnancy outcome after PR infection.
resultsUnfavorable pregnancy outcomes (defined as miscarriage, preterm delivery before week 37 of gestation, or birth weight < 2,500 g) were significantly less frequent in our study population than in a pooled cohort obtained from previously published studies (10.9 % vs. 39.6 %; P = 0.0012). Analysis of pooled data from our study and from previous studies revealed that the week of pregnancy at onset of PR was inversely associated with an unfavorable outcome (odds ratio [OR] = 0.937; 95 % CI 0.883 to 0.993). In addition, duration of PR (OR = 1.432; 95 % CI 1.129 to 1.827), additional extracutaneous symptoms (OR = 4.112; 95 % CI 1.580 to 10.23), and widespread rash distribution (OR 5.203, 95 % CI 1.702 to 14.89) were directly associated with unfavorable outcome.
conclusionIn most cases, PR does not influence pregnancy or birth outcomes.
