Review of Leishmaniasis in the Middle East and North Africa.
Review in African health sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 papers, 3 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
backgroundCutaneous and visceral forms of leishmaniasis are the most important protozoan infection in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
objectivesReview the current knowledge on leishmaniasis in the MENA.
methodsThe data presented in this review are gathered primarily from WHO reports and from an extensive literature search on PubMed.
resultsThere are four cycles of transmission of leishmaniasis: zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL), induce by
conclusionThere are many challenges facing the successful control of leishmaniasis. However, there is continuing research into the treatment of leishmaniasis and potentially vaccinations for the disease.
