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

Chromoblastomycosis (CMB) is a cutaneous fungal infection caused by dematiaceous fungi. According to the World Health Organization CMB has been elected as a tropical disease, and it is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. The lower extremities are the most affected areas, and the lesions progress with erythema, papules, nodules, verrucose plates and/or ulcerations. So far, few works have demonstrated neoplastic transformation in chronic CMB lesions, and it may be a consequence of prolonged inflammatory response. In the present case report, we described a neoplastic transformation from CMB lesion of a 55- year-old man, presenting lesions only in the left leg for 35 years. After treatment, a verrucous white plate with thick and irregular borders emerged in the ankle, which was identified as a sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma. The present case report highlights the importance of an early diagnosis and treatment.
