Keloids After Herpes Zoster: Report of Wolf's Isotopic Phenomenon and Literature Review.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Wolf's isotopic response (WIR) refers to the appearance of a new skin disorder at the exact site of an unrelated skin disorder that had previously been cured. The most common primary skin disease in which WIR occurs is herpes zoster. Despite numerous theories being put forward to explain this occurrence, including viral, vascular, immunological, and neurological hypotheses, the pathogenesis of WIR after herpes zoster remains unclear. We report the case of a 76-year-old patient who presented with keloids at the site of the original herpes zoster. Based on this observation and a review of the literature, The clinical characteristics and possible theoretical reasons for keloids after herpes zoster will be discussed.
