Pityriasis Lichenoides et Varioliformis Acuta: A Case of Iatrogenic Cushing's Syndrome Induced by Topical Corticosteroids.
Article in Cureus, 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
The use of topical corticosteroids plays a central role in the management of inflammatory skin disorders in dermatology, owing to their cost-effectiveness and early symptom resolution. However, inappropriate or prolonged use, particularly of high-potency agents, may lead to local and systemic adverse effects, including the suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Although systemic complications are likely underreported in the literature, the pediatric population is particularly prone to experiencing them. We present the case of an eight-year-old boy with skin lesions compatible with pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) who developed clinical features of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome following 10 days of high-potency topical corticosteroids.
