Lip leishmaniasis: a case series with molecular identification and literature review.
Review in BMC infectious diseases, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL), a protozoan infectious disease, is very rare in Iran despite the endemicity of both cutaneous and visceral forms. It is transmitted by the Phlebotomus sand fly. The lip is considered one of the extraordinary sites. Lesions usually initiate with erythematous papules, slowly enlarges and then it ulcerates. The diagnosis of MCL encompasses epidemiological, clinical and laboratory aspects. Usually, the combination of some of these elements is necessary for the final diagnosis. So, lip leishmaniasis lesions can be challenging to diagnose. CASE PRESENTATION: We presented seven rare cases of lip leishmaniasis. Tissue impression smear, culture, PCR and phylogenetic analysis were carried out for explicit diagnosis. Skin scraping investigation showed several Leishmania spp. amastigotes in the cytoplasm of macrophages. Culture examination was positive for Leishmania spp. PCR was positive for L. major, L. tropica, and L. infantum. Differential diagnosis includes orofacial granulomatosis, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and mesenchymal tumors. The cases were treated with systemic meglumine antimoniate (Glucantime
conclusionsIn this paper, we reported seven rare cases of lip leishmaniasis in Iran, emphasized the importance of clinical and diagnostic features of lesions, characterized the phylogenetic kinship of isolated parasites, and reviewed the literature on lip leishmaniasis.
