1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We present the case of a 68-year-old man with no known risk factors for HIV infection who developed a new, rapidly growing lesion on the left medial foot. The lesion was biopsied and found to be consistent with Kaposi sarcoma (KS). He subsequently tested positive for HIV and developed cellulitis of the left lower extremity. Treatment involved empiric antibiotics, surgical excision of the lesion, radiation therapy, and antiretroviral therapy. The development of KS with no known history of HIV/AIDS is uncommon, with only a few reported cases. We provide a summary of 18 cases in the current literature of cutaneous KS as an initial presenting sign of HIV/AIDS.
