Cutaneous aspergillosis masquerading in sporotrichoid morphology in an immunocompetent host.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Primary cutaneous aspergillosis is an uncommon opportunistic infection, generally seen in immunocompromised individuals. However, many atypical presentations have been reported recently particularly with the increased domain of immunosuppression. Sporotrichoid pattern of aspergillosis where it invades deep lymphatics have rarely been reported and never in immunocompetent individuals previously. We hereby report a case of a 29 years old immunocompetent individual with no comorbidities who presented with multiple painful erythematous papules and nodules over the left upper limb in a sporotrichoid pattern. Microscopy revealed branched septate hyphae and culture on Sabouraud dextrose agar grew powdery greenish colonies which showed hyaline branched septate hyphae with brush-like conidiophores and globose conidia in chains. Histopathology from one of the nodules was consistent with deep fungal infection. A diagnosis of Aspergillus chivalieri was made based on 18S rRNA sequencing of the isolate. The patient showed a satisfactory response to oral Itraconazole over 12 weeks.
