Post Herpetic Itch Leading to Frictional Alopecia of Eyebrow and Scalp-A Hitherto Undescribed Phenomenon.
Article in Indian dermatology online journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Post herpetic itch (PHI) is a less commonly reported sequela of herpes zoster. It can begin upon the resolution of the lesions or several weeks later. PHI is neuropathic in nature and is said to be caused by neural injury in the form of demyelination of itch-transmitting nerve fibers in the skin. The majority of PHI resolves over weeks to months with symptomatic treatment. We report a case of PHI resulting in frictional alopecia of eyebrows and scalp due to frequent rubbing of the skin and hairs secondary to bothersome neuropathic itch.
