A Multifaceted Holistic Review of the Literature on Scar Dermatoses.
Review in International wound journal, 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
Many cutaneous diseases originate or manifest in scars. Scars are areas of compromised skin, which renders them a vulnerable cutaneous district for diseases to develop. The pathophysiology explaining why some dermatoses grow in scars is not yet thoroughly explored. The present study reviews the present literature on scar dermatoses. Three phenomena outline scar dermatoses. The first one is Köbner phenomenon, which is the appearance of new lesions on previously-healthy skin following trauma, where the new lesions are of the same type that the patient is known to have. The second one is Wolf's isotopic response, or the appearance of a new dermatosis in an area previously affected by then healed from a different dermatosis. The third one is Renbök phenomenon, where the appearance of a new dermatosis reverses the effect of an older one in a localised skin area. This article discusses the mechanisms as well as examples of each phenomenon. In addition, the pathological plethora arising from scars can be divided into several categories: inflammatory, autoimmune, neoplastic, and other miscellaneous diseases including infectious. Detailed examples and documented case reports on each are discussed in this article. Since many scar dermatoses are crucial to be recognised due to their potential burden on patients' health, this article is of utmost significance to dermatologists to get familiar with these diseases, to allow early diagnoses and management plans. It also educates patients to routinely check their scars and detect any of the multiple changes that can occur.
