Head and neck manifestations of paracoccidioidomycosis: an epidemiological study of 36 cases in Brazil.
Article in Mycopathologia, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundParacoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. It is the principal systemic mycosis in Brazil, with higher incidence rates in the southern, southeastern, and midwestern regions. It primarily involves the lungs, but head and neck manifestations are common, and differential diagnosis with granulomatous and neoplastic diseases should therefore be considered.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records of paracoccidioidomycosis cases with head and neck manifestations in southern Brazil over a 10-year period, from 1998 to 2008.
resultsA total of 36 cases of paracoccidioidomycosis were confirmed by histopathological examination, fungal investigation, or culture. Most cases consisted of men with smoking and/or chronic drinking habits and with poor hygiene and nutrition.
conclusionsParacoccidioidomycosis is endemic to southern Brazil. Most cases with mucocutaneous manifestations affect the head and neck region. Given that risk factors and clinical manifestations are similar to those of head and neck carcinomas, a differential diagnosis has to be done.
