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 characterized by an initially pruritic inflammatory rash on the torso and nape of the neck, which fades subsequently to leave a reticular macular hyperpigmentation. Among the list of suggested potential aetiological factors, ketosis remains an indisputable cause. However, the mechanism(s) linking ketosis and PP remain largely unknown. Recently, dermatologists have been confronted with an outbreak of PP induced by ketogenic diets (KD) and bariatric surgeries. Atypical forms (bullous variant) and localizations have been encountered. Herein, we review the relevant literature on PP, discuss its link to ketosis with current and future perspectives and propose a hypothesis for its aetiopathogenesis.
