Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a Non-endemic Area in Mexico.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease caused by a parasite of the genus Leishmania endemic in 102 countries around the world. Clinical features can be classified as cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral leishmaniasis; this will depend on the species of leishmania responsible for the disease and the immunologic response of the host. We present the case of a 14-year-old male who started with a small papular lesion in the helix of the left ear, which later spread to the rest of the helix, tragus, and part of the auricular concha. On physical examination, an erythematous plaque with a scale that deforms the auricular surface was observed. In histopathology, acute and chronic inflammatory processes were observed with an accumulation of macrophages that contain amastigotes inside (Leishman Donovan bodies). The diagnosis of leishmaniasis represents a challenge in non-endemic regions. It is important to ask about travel history to endemic areas and perform assays to confirm the diagnosis and initiate treatment to prevent mortality and morbidity.
