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

Prurigo pigmentosa (PP) is a rare dermatological condition with an unclear, often idiopathic etiology, but recent evidence points to a potential link between the disease and metabolic changes, particularly those associated with ketosis. It typically presents as a pruritic, erythematous rash, mainly affecting the trunk and neck, and often features hyperpigmented macules and plaques. The onset of PP has been associated with various factors, including fasting, dieting, and certain metabolic disorders. A high index of suspicion is necessary for diagnosis, as its clinical appearance can be easily mistaken for other skin conditions. Treatment usually involves the use of antibiotics like minocycline to reduce inflammation, along with dietary adjustments aimed at correcting the underlying metabolic disturbances. This patient's presentation strongly suggests a relationship between PP and the metabolic state induced by bariatric surgery, highlighting the importance of considering PP in post-surgical patients.
