Tinea Incognito Imitating Pustular Psoriasis in a Psoriatic Patient Following Immunosuppressive Therapy: Case Report and Narrative Review.

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
Tinea incognito is an atypical form of dermatophytosis caused by previous use of topical or systemic immunosuppressive therapy, most often corticosteroids. Modification of the clinical presentation frequently leads to diagnostic delay and misdiagnosis, especially in patients with concomitant chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis. We present a narrative review of the literature on tinea incognito in patients with psoriasis during immunosuppressive therapy. We screened 386 abstracts and included 16 comparable case reports focusing on tinea incognito occurring in patients with psoriasis or during antipsoriatic treatment. The review summarizes clinical presentations, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic approaches reported in the literature. Additionally, we present a clinical case of a 27-year-old man with a long history of plaque psoriasis treated with methotrexate and cyclosporine. The patient developed rapidly progressive skin lesions with pustular features and further deterioration despite systemic antipsoriatic therapy. Initial mycological examinations were negative. Histopathological examination revealed a chronic purulent perifollicular inflammatory process with extension into the subcutaneous tissue. The correct diagnosis was confirmed after a repeat skin biopsy with periodic acid-Schiff and Grocott staining and fungal culture of the skin tissue, which revealed
