Addressing Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges in a Case of Concurrent Tinea and Plaque Psoriasis.
Article in Case reports in dermatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: The annular lesions of dermatophytosis can closely resemble the plaques of psoriasis, posing significant diagnostic and treatment challenges. Methotrexate, a common treatment for psoriasis, can exacerbate the former due to its immunosuppressive effects. Case Report: A middle-aged man with chronic plaque psoriasis was on tablet methotrexate (7.5 mg once weekly) and topical steroids for 1 year. Despite some improvement, new annular lesions emerged whenever topical steroids were tapered. Frustrated with the lack of disease control, the patient finally visited a tertiary care center, where tinea corporis was diagnosed alongside psoriasis via dermoscopy, mycological tests, and histopathology. Methotrexate and steroids were discontinued, and the patient was started on antifungals. Once the dermatophytosis was brought under control, methotrexate was resumed alongside targeted application of steroid and antifungal creams. Conclusion: The coexistence of tinea corporis and psoriasis can be challenging to diagnose and treat, necessitating thorough clinical evaluation and mycological testing. Proactive monitoring and timely intervention are crucial to prevent complications and ensure optimal management outcomes in immunosuppressed individuals with dermatophyte infections.
