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
Introduction: Sepsis secondary to crusted scabies is a rare but life-threatening complication of Clinical Findings: A 50-year-old Indigenous man from the Brazilian Amazon presented with a one-year history of generalized pruritus, diffuse hyperkeratotic and crusted skin lesions, and progressive clinical deterioration. Diagnosis Interventions and Outcomes: The patient was initially misdiagnosed with Hansen's disease and atopic dermatitis and received prolonged corticosteroid therapy, which exacerbated his condition. Skin scraping confirmed crusted scabies, and blood cultures grew Conclusion Take‐Home Message: This case highlights the critical importance of early recognition of crusted scabies and the risks associated with misdiagnosis and inappropriate immunosuppressive therapy. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent severe complications such as sepsis, particularly in resource-limited and endemic settings.
