Atypical lesions as a sign of cutaneous dissemination of visceral leishmaniasis in a human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient simultaneously infected by two viscerotropic Leishmania species.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Leishmaniasis is considered an emerging opportunistic disease in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients who have considerably variable clinical presentation. We report a patient with visceral leishmaniasis who had unexpected clinical aspects (atypical cutaneous lesions appearing after long-term evidence of visceral parasites). The patient had hepatoesplenomegaly in the absence of fever, but was otherwise generally healthy. The HIV viral load was low despite severe immunossupression (low lymphocyte proliferation and low level of interferon-γ, concomitant with a high lymphocyte activation status). Surprisingly, two Leishmania strains were isolated from his bone marrow (typical L. infantum sequence MON-1, type A) and skin (L. donovani MON-2 sequence); this second strain had not been previously identified in Brazil. The association of visceral leishmaniasis and HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a largely unknown disease, particularly in areas in which leishmaniasis is not endemic. Such atypical cases indicate that this disease can be undiagnosed in clinical settings.
