Ungual scabies mimicking periungual verruca in a patient with metastatic breast cancer treated with abemaciclib: a case report.
Article in Journal of Yeungnam medical science, 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
Ungual scabies is a rare manifestation of Sarcoptes scabiei infestation in nail units and may mimic other nail diseases, resulting in diagnostic delay. Herein, we report the case of a 58-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who received abemaciclib and presented with recalcitrant paronychia and verruca-like periungual hyperkeratosis, sparing the finger web area without pruritus. Skin biopsy confirmed multiple mites in the stratum corneum, resulting in the diagnosis of crusted scabies with nail involvement. Topical permethrin 5% cream and oral ivermectin were then administered. The prolonged unrecognized disease in our patient led to repeated visits to long-term care facilities and tertiary hospitals, thereby increasing the risk of nosocomial transmission. This case emphasizes that clinicians, including non-dermatologists, should consider scabies in patients with chronic periungual lesions, particularly in patients who are immunocompromised such as those using abemaciclib, to prevent hospital outbreaks and excessive healthcare costs.
