Complicated iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome induced by topical clobetasol propionate in a child with psoriasis: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundLong-term use of oral or parenteral corticosteroids is the most common cause of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression and iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome. Still, iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome occurs rarely following the administration of topical corticosteroids. CASE PRESENTATION: This case study discusses the misuse of a high-potency corticosteroid cream by an Iranian 5-year-old male with plaque-form psoriasis, resulting in Cushingoid symptoms including moon face, buffalo hump, red striae, and weight gain. The child experienced different complications following iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome, such as frequent vomiting and fever, which led to expiration.
conclusionProper use and monitoring of topical corticosteroids are emphasized, especially among children. This study also underlines the potential side effects of high-potency corticosteroids and the importance of physicians' and parents' awareness, highlighting the avoidance of excessive topical corticosteroid prescriptions.
