A Recalcitrant Skin Lesion and Subsequent Infection in a Recreational Intramural Male Athlete: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 35-year-old intramural male athlete presented to the athletic training staff with a 4.5- × 2.2-cm itchy, painful, swollen, and infected insidious skin lesion on his right lateral malleolus due to an underlying dermatologic deficiency. Suspecting infection, the patient was referred to his nurse practitioner and was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis caused by a ceramide deficiency. He was placed on cefalexin and mupirocin 2% ointment but returned due to the lesion increasing to 8.5 × 6 cm, although the infection seemed controlled. He was instructed to use Ceravé topical cream, clobetasol propionate 5%, and to consume foods rich in healthy oils (omega-3 fatty acids, olive oil). Unmitigated, this lesion could have resulted in severe infection and tissue damage. Atopic dermatitis is relatively common in the general population, but its appearance in healthy athletes highlights that athletic trainers need to be well versed in not just apparent causes of skin ailments (ie, infection) but also root causes.
