Noma in an HIV infected patient in Guinea-Bissau: a case report.
Article in Infection, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundNoma is a multifactorial and multibacterial opportunistic infection that initially causes necrotic gingivitis but rapidly spreads to the nearby orofacial tissue resulting in sloughing and severe deformation of the facial structures. The majority of cases are seen in young children under the age of 6 years. Noma is strongly associated with poverty, malnutrition and immunosuppression, and is often preceded by severe systemic infections such as measles and malaria. Only few cases of noma infection in adults have been described. CASE REPORT: We present here a case report with a 32-year-old Guinean woman who was diagnosed with noma infection and on that occasion discovered that she was HIV-1 seropositive. After treatment with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and metronidazole for her noma infection the woman was transferred to the national hospital where antiretroviral treatment was initiated.
conclusionNoma is an opportunistic infection and immunodeficiencies such as HIV should always be suspected when presenting in an adult patient.
