Crusted Scabies Mimicking Psoriasis in a Patient With Down Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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.

Crusted scabies, also known as Norwegian scabies, is a rare but highly contagious variant of scabies characterized by extensive hyperkeratotic plaques and a heavy mite burden. It predominantly affects immunocompromised individuals or those with neurological or cognitive impairments, including individuals with Down syndrome. We report the case of a 29-year-old man with Down syndrome who developed a progressive, treatment-resistant erythematosquamous eruption initially misdiagnosed as psoriasis. Topical corticosteroid therapy led to clinical worsening, with widespread hyperkeratotic and crusted plaques. Further evaluation revealed the presence of
