Infantile scabies mimicking refractory eczema: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Atypical infantile scabies is easily misdiagnosed as common inflammatory dermatoses, leading to therapeutic delay. This 11-month-old female infant presented with two months of generalized pruritus and steroid-refractory palmoplantar pustules, which failed to respond to topical glucocorticoids and calcineurin inhibitors. Epidemiological inquiry revealed familial clustered pruritus and definite occupational scabies exposure in her mother, a ward nurse. Dermoscopy directly identified mites and confirmed the diagnosis. Standardized sulfur ointment treatment for the infant and synchronous eradication therapy for all household members achieved remission. This case highlights that anti-inflammatory-refractory palmoplantar pustules are crucial red flags for atypical infantile scabies. For intractable eczema-like eruptions in infants, targeted contact tracing and dermoscopic evaluation should be prioritized over prolonged empirical anti-inflammatory therapy to enable early and accurate diagnosis.
