1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundChromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused by different melanized fungi. The disease occurs worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions but not reported in Vietnam. A 47-year-old women was admitted to hospital 103, Hanoi, Vietnam, with a 10-year lasting lesion on backside of her right shank. Diagnosis of chromoblastomycosis was made after discovery of a muriform cell in histopathological examination. A black, slow-growth fungus was isolated and identified as Fonsecaea pedrosoi after molecular analysis. After 1-month treatment with itraconazole, the lesion has significant improvement.

conclusionThis is the first case of chromoblastomycosis caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi reported in Vietnam.
