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: Prurigo Strophulus (PS) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease caused by a hypersensitivity reaction to arthropod bites. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of PS and its clinical characteristic in our context. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study during February to May 2017 in Dermatology's units of six hospitals in Yaoundé. Children with clinical signs of PS were included. A questionnaire was administered for data collection. Results: A total of 112 children (62 boys and 50 girls) were included in the study, with a median age of 2 years; with range varied from 5 months to 16 years. The prevalence of PS was 5.4%. The most represented age group was 0-5 years (78.6%). PS lesions were most often located in exposed areas of body such as lower limbs (101/112; 90.2%), upper limbs (85/112; 75.9%) and face (19.6%). Papule-vesicle (87.5%) was the predominant type of lesions. Conclusion: PS is a common disease in Yaoundé (Cameroon). Papule-vesicle lesions are the most frequent signs. It is usually found in exposure areas of body.
