Lichen Planus Pigmentosus and Vitiligo in a 61-Year-Old Filipino Man: Case Report.
Article in JMIR dermatology, 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
Unlabelled: Pigmentary disorders have been implicated in causing psychosocial turmoil in patients as they can cause some degree of cosmetic disfigurement. Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) presents as ashy, dermatosis-like eruptions on sun-exposed areas, particularly on the head, neck, and earlobes. On the other hand, vitiligo is a chronic disorder that appears as depigmented patches on the skin. A 61-year-old man with Fitzpatrick skin phototype IV presented to us initially with LPP but eventually also developed vitiligo. The patient was treated with low-dose oral isotretinoin for LPP and topical tacrolimus 0.1% ointment for both LPP and vitiligo with a good clinical outcome. One case of segmental vitiligo and zosteriform LPP, affecting a 22-year-old Indian woman, has been previously reported in the English-language literature. An autoimmune etiology that causes melanocytorrhagy may be a plausible hypothesis for the coexistence of these 2 conditions.
