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 is a rare inflammatory dermatosis that predominantly affects East Asian populations, with very few reported cases in individuals with darker skin tones. The condition is characterized by pruritic, erythematous papules that evolve into a distinct, net-like pattern of hyperpigmentation. Due to its rarity in non-Asian populations, prurigo pigmentosa is often underdiagnosed or misclassified as other hyperpigmented dermatoses. We present the case of a 33-year-old African-Canadian woman who developed prurigo pigmentosa following prolonged fasting, contributing to the limited literature on this condition in skin of color. This report aims to raise awareness of prurigo pigmentosa in underrepresented populations.
