1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare dermatologic disorder marked by erythema, scaling, pruritus, pain, and follicular hyperkeratosis. It usually appears as red, scaly patches with areas of unaffected skin and is commonly associated with orange-colored palms and soles. While the exact etiology is unknown, emerging evidence points to several contributing factors. PRP can vary in severity, ranging from localized lesions to extensive erythroderma involving nearly the entire body surface. This report details the case of a 74-year-old Caucasian male who presented with a four-month history of an erythematous, pruritic rash affecting the face, trunk, and extremities. The rash developed following a COVID-19 infection, complicating the diagnostic process. A skin biopsy confirmed psoriasiform dermatitis consistent with PRP. This case focuses on the diagnostic challenges of PRP, particularly following a COVID-19 infection, and explores the potential role of IL-17 inhibitors in its treatment.
