Annular Erythema in a Nine-Year-Old Girl: A Rare Type of Psoriasis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Annular erythema is a nonspecific clinical sign arising from various conditions, including infections, cutaneous lymphomas, connective tissue diseases, and inflammatory dermatoses. Psoriasis vulgaris typically presents as sharply demarcated erythematous plaques with silvery scales; however, annular forms are rare and may complicate diagnosis. We report a nine-year-old girl with an annular erythematous lesion on the anterior chest that gradually expanded over two months, spreading to the extremities and trunk with mild pruritus. Despite suspicion of tinea corporis, repeated fungal tests were negative, and topical corticosteroids were ineffective. Skin biopsy showed marked hyperkeratosis, loss of the granular layer with parakeratosis, and subcorneal Munro's microabscesses; no fungal elements were found. Laboratory tests and imaging were unremarkable, and genetic screening for IL36RN and CARD14 found no pathogenic variants. A diagnosis of psoriasis vulgaris was made with a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of 7.8. After failed topical treatment, systemic secukinumab therapy was initiated, leading to complete lesion resolution within two months. This case emphasizes the importance of considering psoriasis in the differential diagnosis of pediatric annular erythema and demonstrates the value of histopathology and biologics in managing atypical pediatric psoriasis.
