1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Scabies is a common ectoparasitic infestation, but atypical variants such as bullous scabies are rare and often misdiagnosed. We report a 12-year-old boy who presented with pruritic lesions comprising predominantly vesicles and bullae over the hands, along with a few scattered excoriated papules on the trunk and thighs. Dermoscopic evaluation revealed the characteristic "jet with contrail" sign in the interdigital area, confirming the diagnosis of scabies according to the 2020 International Alliance for the Control of Scabies criteria. The patient was treated with two applications of topical 5% permethrin 1 week apart, along with symptomatic therapy, resulting in complete resolution without sequelae at 4 weeks. This case highlights bullous scabies as an underrecognized pediatric presentation and underscores the value of dermoscopy as a rapid, noninvasive diagnostic tool that can prevent misdiagnosis, avoid unnecessary investigations, and ensure timely, effective treatment.
