Dermatitis artefacta: a challenging diagnosis.
Article in Dermatology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Dear Editor, Dermatitis factitia (DF), also known as dermatitis artefacta, is a rare condition characterized by self-inflicted skin lesions.

Alternatively, they may be deliberately induced by the patient with the intention of gaining medical attention. DF is essentially the physical manifestation of underlying psychiatric disorders, making it a particularly challenging condition within the realm of medical practice. Being a diagnosis primarily based on the exclusion of an underlying disorder often requires multiple investigations that can impose a significant economic burden. [...].
