A Report of a Case of Reactivation of Plaque Morphea After Sunlight Exposure and a Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
We present the case of a 61-year-old woman with a histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of plaque morphea. The disease began about four years ago with the appearance of a single oval sclerotic plaque located on the front surface of the right lower leg. After topical treatment, the plaque underwent reverse development. Two years later, after intense exposure to the sun, reactivation of the plaque occurred with the development of a peripheral reddening of the "lilac ring" type, thickening, and induration of the affected skin. After topical treatment, the plaque regressed again after six months. The next summer, the patient regularly used topical photoprotective agents and avoided prolonged exposure to solar radiation, during which no new reactivation of the plaque occurred. The observed case suggests that UV light (sunlight) could be a triggering factor for the reactivation of plaque morphea.
