Resolution of Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus Symptoms Following Dietary Elimination of Tomato and Nightshade Vegetables: A Case Report.
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
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that most often affects the perineal region and can greatly impact quality of life. This report presents the case of a 69-year-old woman with a 20-year history of vulvar LS. Despite standard treatment with topical corticosteroids, as well as multiple other therapies, including some nonstandard approaches, her symptoms persisted. Laboratory evaluation revealed elevated IgG antibodies to tomato. After eliminating tomatoes and other nightshade vegetables from her diet, the patient remained symptom-free for over a year. This case highlights a potential role of dietary antigens in LS and underscores the need for further investigation of non-IgE-mediated food sensitivities in managing symptoms.
