A Narrative Review on Stress and Itch: What We Know and What We Would Like to Know.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Itch is one of the most prevalent symptoms experienced by patients with inflammatory skin conditions, yet it is also one of the most debilitating. Patients suffering from chronic itch have been found to have significantly higher stress levels compared with those not experiencing itch. In fact, recent studies have revealed a bidirectional relationship between stress and itch, where each condition worsens the other. This is thought to be driven by the vicious itch-scratch cycle, which is fueled by underlying inflammation. The precise molecular pathways and mediators involved, however, remain unclear. This narrative review discusses the existing research on the relationship between stress and itch and outlines future research directions that will be necessary to advance our understanding and treatment of these conditions. Given that the effective management of both symptoms often requires a combined treatment approach, further investigation into their shared mechanisms is essential for identifying successful therapies and improving patient outcomes.
