Uncommon Presentation of Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris of the Scalp: Clinical, Trichoscopic, and Histopathologic Features and Review of the Literature.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 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
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) presents a diagnostic challenge due to its varied clinical manifestations and the scarce literature on scalp involvement. This article presents a case report of a 59-year-old female with PRP solely affecting the scalp, detailing its clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathological features. Trichoscopy revealed a novel finding of white-silvery scales forming hair casts with a triangular shape, distinct from the existing literature. A literature review comparing our findings with pertinent articles underscored the uniqueness of our case. We discuss differential diagnoses and treatment options, based on available evidence. Our case highlights the importance of understanding scalp manifestations in PRP, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and improving treatment strategies for this rare condition. Furthermore, the review of the literature compares our observations with available case reports and case series, outlining differential diagnoses and trichoscopic and histopathological diagnostic approaches to PRP, enriching overall clinical knowledge of PRP.
