Harlequin Ichthyosis in a Preterm Neonate: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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.

Abstract
A condition known as harlequin ichthyosis appears rarely, marked by intense abnormalities in skin development due to inherited changes in the ABCA12 gene. This leads to major issues with the outer layer of skin, forming hard, plate-like coverings split by wide cracks. Features include turned-out eyelids, lips pulled back, and stiff joints in arms and legs; survival rates at birth remain low because of complications. A baby boy born before full term showed clear signs matching this diagnosis immediately after delivery. Earlier scans during pregnancy, specifically in the last 3 months, revealed widespread thickened skin, abnormal eye positioning, an always-open mouth, joint stiffness, and dense particles floating in the womb fluid. Following birth, thickened skin patches covered much of the newborn's body, accompanied by fused digits, fluid loss, and low body temperature. Within a moist environment inside an enclosed warmer, treatment unfolded through moisturizing agents, hydration via vein access, infection prevention with medication, alongside eye protection. Gene testing remained absent, blocked by cost-related barriers. Awareness at onset, strong support during initial days, coordination across specialties-these shaped progress, especially where tools and funds run short.
