Successful Treatment of Childhood Nail Lichen Planus with Ruxolitinib Cream: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The role of oral JAK inhibitors in the treatment of nail lichen planus (NLP) has recently been reported, but there have been no literature reports on the treatment of NLP with topical Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. We present, for the first time, a preliminary clinical experience with topical ruxolitinib cream, a JAK inhibitor, in a child with NLP. The remarkable results suggest topical ruxolitinib cream may be a potential treatment option for NLP.
