Atypical Location of Lichen Simplex Chronicus.
Article in Cureus, 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
Lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) is a chronic itch condition, severely impacting many patients' quality of life. The burden of this condition has been referred to as debilitating, which can lead to a sequela of chronic anxiety, depression, and stress. LSC is characterized by intractable scratching and manipulation of the skin, resulting in symmetrically thickened, scaly plaques. LSC is extremely common and is one of the most common dermatological chief complaints in clinics. This case report highlights a 68-year-old male patient presenting for an evaluation of eczema on his back associated with unrelenting pruritus in a location that he could not reach, ultimately diagnosed as LSC upon histological evaluation. Patients can experience severe suffering from chronic itching, often compared to that of chronic pain conditions. Because of this, this case emphasizes the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment and to suspect LSC in hyperpigmented pruritic plaques, regardless of bodily location.
