Pediatric Phthiriasis Palpebrarum: A French Multicentric Retrospective Study of 20 Cases.
Article in Journal of pediatrics. Clinical practice, 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
Objective: Phthiriasis palpebrarum is an ectoparasitosis caused by Study design: Records of phthiriasis palpebrarum cases that occurred in children <18 years from 2005 to 2024 were retrieved from 9 dermatology departments and 1 liberal office in France. Results: A total of 20 children with phthiriasis palpebrarum were included. The median age at diagnosis was 3 years and 2 months (range: 7 months-8 years). The median delay in diagnosis was 28.5 days (range: 1 day-5 months). Ocular pruritus (83%), eyelid erythema (44%), crusting of the free eyelid margin (41%), and scalp involvement (55%) were the main characteristics. A case of Conclusions: Contrary to the previous reports in the literature about pediatric phthiriasis palpebrarum, scalp involvement is a typical finding. Regarding the mode of transmission, no sexual abuse has been identified, but the origins of infantile phthiriasis palpebrarum weren't systematically discerned to assess for possible abuse. Notably, no case was registered after the age of 8 years. Different treatment protocols are used, reflecting a lack of standardization.
