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
Background: Scabies, caused by Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted in 2024 on 734 patients presenting with pruritic eruptions and itchy rashes. The diagnosis of scabies was confirmed in 98 patients by identifying Results: Among the 734 patients screened, 98 were confirmed to have scabies (13.4%). Analysis of these 98 cases revealed that the majority were female (64.3%, 63/98). The highest frequency of cases was observed in individuals aged 16 years and younger. Assessment of clinical presentation revealed that 55.1% (54/98) of cases presented with moderate lesions. A high proportion of cases were also among women, people with low levels of education and unemployed people. Conclusion: This study identified a total of 98 scabies cases among 734 patients screened in Gonabad City. The infestation was significantly associated with being female, having a lower level of education, and unemployment. These findings highlight a distinct epidemiological pattern of scabies in this underserved region and underscore the need for targeted community screening and health education, particularly among the affected demographic groups. Further analytical studies are needed to confirm true risk factors at the population level.
