1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This paper presents a case of a 43-year-old man with Down syndrome misdiagnosed with psoriasis, later diagnosed with CS. Clinical manifestations included pruritus, hyperkeratotic plaques, and yellow crusts on the scalp, hands, and feet. Laboratory findings revealed eosinophilia and confirmed scabies through mite identification. Treatment with oral ivermectin and permethrin cream led to complete lesion clearance in two weeks. Crusted scabies is highly contagious and often misdiagnosed, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and appropriate treatment to prevent complications and transmission.
