Disseminated sporotrichosis in a person with human immunodeficiency virus disease.
Article in Access microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionDisseminated sporotrichosis is an incapacitating infection caused by the dimorphic fungus CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of disseminated sporotrichosis in a patient with poorly controlled human immunodeficiency virus infection. The patient was initially treated for bacterial skin infections. The differential diagnosis also included tuberculosis and syphilis. Only after appropriate specimens had been sent for microbiological and histopathological investigations was the diagnosis of disseminated sporotrichosis made and appropriate treatment started. The patient showed a good clinical response to itraconazole.
conclusionThis report highlights the importance of having a high index of suspicion of endemic mycoses when managing immunocompromised patients. The report also demonstrates that a delay in the diagnosis of sporotrichosis increases morbidity and results in unnecessary and inappropriate treatment with associated costs and adverse effects.
