Pityriasis Rosea With Multiple Herald Patches Resulting in a V-shaped Pattern and a Christmas Tree Distribution.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Pityriasis rosea (PR), a benign and self-limiting skin disorder, typically manifests as a single initial lesion known as the herald patch. The herald patch is commonly followed by the development of secondary erythematous papules and plaques, aligning with Langer's lines to form a specific distribution pattern, resembling a Christmas tree on the back and a V-shaped pattern on the upper chest. Therefore, diagnosing PR may not be difficult based on its typical clinical presentation. In contrast, cases of atypical PR presentation have been reported, encompassing several differential diagnoses. Here, we present a case with multiple herald patches that needed differentiation from ringworm, syphilis, and erythema annular centrifugum. Subsequently, our case was diagnosed with PR, as the patches formed a V-shaped pattern and a Christmas-tree distribution.
