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

Candidal granuloma is a rare and refractory disease in clinical practice, usually reported in immunocompromised patients. We report a 57-year-old man who presented with candidal granuloma caused by Candida tropicalis. The diagnosis was confirmed according to histopathology and molecular identification. Prolonged duration of initial antifungal therapy did not obtain satisfactory improvement. Finally, the refractory disease was successfully treated by itraconazole and terbinafine in combination with hyperthermia and cryotherapy. The "blackish-red dot" dermoscopic sign of the verrucous granuloma gradually resolved during the treatment.
