Effect of Intralesional Sodium Stibogluconate Alone versus Combinations with Topical Trichloroacetic Acid 50% or Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser on Cutaneous Leishmaniasis.
Article in Indian journal of dermatology. 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
Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a vector-borne protozoal disease. Antimonial drugs remain the first-line treatment for CL despite the widespread drug resistance and high incidence of side effects. The present study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of traditional intralesional sodium stibogluconate (SSG) alone and its combinations with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) 50% and fractional carbon dioxide (CO Materials and Methods: An interventional study was carried out on 25 CL patients. In each patient, three lesions were assigned to treatment either by SSG alone (GI), SSG plus TCA 50% (GII), or SSG plus fractional CO Results: GIII patients had significantly lower treatment sessions as compared to GI patients (3.6 ± 1.29 versus 4.04 ± 2.11, Conclusions: Intralesional SSG with TCA 50% is more effective than SSG alone and is comparable to SSG and fractional CO
