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

Corynespora cassiicola is a common plant pathogen, but C. cassiicola infection in human hosts is extremely rare. In this report, we present an 84-year-old male with long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids who developed a subcutaneous infection caused by C. cassiicola. The organism was isolated from both wound culture and biopsy specimen from the skin lesion. However, no microscopic diagnostic characters could be obtained because the isolates failed to sporulate on different culture media. Molecular diagnosis by amplification and sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer regions of ribosomal DNA was performed, and the sequences of the isolates were identical to those of C. cassiicola. The patient was treated successfully with oral terbinafine therapy for 12 weeks. In this report, we also review the epidemiology, clinical and therapeutic facets of cutaneous C. cassiicola infection.
