Local excision of perianal skin for pruritus ani: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. 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
Pruritus ani is a neurofunctional dermatological condition frequently encountered in proctology, characterized by persistent perianal itching that can significantly compromise the patient's quality of life. This case report details a 48-year-old male patient with a 4-year history of perianal itching. Following local excision of the perianal skin, the wound healed satisfactorily on postoperative day 32 and achieved complete resolution of itching symptoms, with the patient attaining full recovery by day 40, thereby demonstrating remarkable clinical efficacy. Additionally, this report reviews relevant literature to investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for pruritus ani.
