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

Dermatoses are one of the three most common presenting health care problems in returning travelers. The spectrum of travel-related dermatoses is broad, and includes tropical, cosmopolitan, and environmental skin diseases. Bacterial infections are the main cause of skin consultations in returning travelers. Most of these infections are not specific to the tropics and are the consequences of arthropod bites. Conversely, tropical skin infections are less commonly observed. Knowledge of imported dermatoses among Western physicians is limited, even though it is becoming increasingly important that doctors be able to recognize and differentiate between the diverse varieties of diseases. This review highlights the most recent developments regarding dermatologic presentations of tropical diseases in travelers in order to provide more effective pre-travel counseling and an up-to-date aid to post-travel diagnosis and treatment.
