Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus with a psoriasiform presentation: A diagnostic clinical conundrum.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Key Clinical Message: For practitioners experiencing worsening psoriasis, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) with a psoriasiform presentation should be ruled out. Initial treatment for a presumptive diagnosis of psoriasis using hydroxychloroquine or ultraviolet phototherapy may cause SCLE to worsen. Abstract: Psoriasiform subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus is an unusual presentation scarcely reported in literature. We report a case of a 54-year-old man who presented with an itchy, papulosquamous rash of the upper extremities and face for 7 months. The initial physical examination revealed the classical morphology of psoriasis. One and a half years after the diagnosis of clinical worsening, the patient noticed a new papular eruption on the right posterior upper arm. A skin biopsy was performed, confirming a diagnosis of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus. This case report highlights the importance of considering rare presentations of cutaneous lupus erythematosus and therapeutic challenges in management.
