Current clinical practice of prurigo nodularis in Japan: A cross-sectional web-survey among dermatologists.
Article in The Journal of dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with intense pruritic nodules. The unclear patho-etiological mechanisms of PN cause difficulty in disease management; and there is a paucity of information on the current diagnosis and treatment options for PN in Japan. To describe the current management from a dermatologists' perspective we conducted a web-based survey (UMIN Clinical Trial Registry UMIN000047643) in 2022 among dermatologists from a Japanese commercially available physician panel, who had seen at least one patient with PN within the last 3 months. The survey included 117 dermatologists. The dermatologists diagnosed PN mainly by confirming clinical signs and patient interviews, while to assess the severity of PN, the number of pruritic nodules and the degree of itching were primarily utilized. Topical corticosteroids and antihistamines were the most used drugs, as recommended in the current guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of prurigo. Dermatologists' treatment satisfaction decreased with increasing assumed severity of PN; almost 65% dermatologists were not satisfied with the treatment of severe PN. These results suggest the need of more effective medications and diagnostic tools for better management of PN in Japan.
