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
Background: Scabies is a common ectoparasitic infestation with characteristic age-related clinical patterns. Palmoplantar involvement is typically associated with infantile scabies and is rarely observed in adolescents, leading to diagnostic delay and mismanagement. Case Presentation: A 13-year-old male presented with a two-week history of intensely pruritic papular eruptions involving the trunk and acral areas, including the palms and soles. Pruritus was worse at night. Previous treatment with topical corticosteroids showed no improvement. Dermatological examination revealed diffuse erythematous papules on the trunk and symmetrical papulovesicular lesions with crusting on the palmoplantar surfaces. Based on clinical features and treatment failure, a diagnosis of scabies was made. The patient was treated with 6% sulfur ointment for three consecutive days, resulting in complete resolution of pruritus and clinical improvement within one week. Conclusion: Palmoplantar lesions in adolescents, though atypical, should not exclude scabies. Early recognition, appropriate treatment, and household management are essential. Further studies are needed to characterize age-atypical presentations and optimize diagnostic strategies.
