Crusted Hyperkeratotic Scabies: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Crusted scabies is a rare form of classic scabies characterized by severe symptoms, mainly observed in immunosuppressed patients. This disease has been associated with a variety of health problems, such as delayed diagnosis, infection risk, and high mortality, mainly from sepsis. We report the case of a patient with hyperkeratotic scabies in the context of immunosuppression associated with malnutrition and the use of topical corticosteroids. Ivermectin is critical for successfully treating crusted scabies. However, a higher cure rate has been reported with the combination of oral ivermectin and topical permethrin. In our study, we chose to use a plan suitable for grade two scabies, resulting in a subtotal regression of the lesions. Crusted scabies is a highly contagious parasitic cutaneous disease, and there are few reports in the national and international literature. It is necessary to suspect this presentation form in order to establish a timely diagnosis and detect and treat associated comorbidities.
