Review in Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 a disease with worldwide increasing incidence, which in Germany is almost exclusively observed in patients who have travelled to classical endemic regions such as the Mediterranean basin. Cause of the disease is an infection with protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, which are transmitted by sand flies and replicate intracellularly within mammalian hosts. Depending on the inoculated parasite (sub-) species and the immune status of the host, a local cutaneous, diffuse cutaneous, mucocutaneous or visceral form of leishmaniasis will develop. Cutaneous leishmaniasis, which frequently appears only weeks after the bite of a sand fly, starts with the formation of a papule, which subsequently can turn into a skin ulcer. The latter may heal spontaneously after months leaving behind a scar or persist as chronic, non-healing cutaneous leishmaniasis. If cutaneous leishmaniasis is suspected, a sterile skin biopsy followed by appropriate diagnostic measures in a specialized laboratory to identify the pathogen should be performed. For the decision on the type of therapy, several clinical parameters (e.g. number and localization of lesions, immune status) and, most importantly, the underlying parasite (sub-) species need to be considered. Therapy can consist of a variety of topical measures or systemic drug treatment. A modern and safe vaccine does not yet exist.
