From urticaria to mites: a diagnostic turnaround in atypical nodular scabies -a case report.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2026. 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
backgroundScabies is a contagious skin infestation caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis, presenting with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Nodular scabies is an uncommon variant that typically affects the genital region. When nodules appear in atypical locations, they may resemble other dermatoses and complicate diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old woman presented with persistent, pruritic nodules on the chest, buttocks, and thighs that clinically resembled papular urticaria. She had previously been treated with topical corticosteroids and antihistamines without improvement, prompting a diagnostic biopsy. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of Sarcoptes mites in the stratum corneum. The patient and her family were treated with 10% sulfur ointment applied once daily for three consecutive days per course, with two courses administered one week apart. The nodules gradually regressed after two courses, while pruritus and intermittent wheals persisted for four weeks and resolved completely within two months.
conclusionThe case emphasizes the need to consider atypical scabies in the differential diagnosis of persistent nodular eruptions occurring in uncommon anatomical sites. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
