Six-Year Study on Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Al-Muthanna, Iraq: Molecular Identification Using ITS1 Gene Sequencing.
Article in Infection & chemotherapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe current study aimed to determine the prevalence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Al-Muthanna province (Iraq) and to characterize the MATERIALS AND
methodsMedical information on patients with CL was obtained from archived records at the Al-Muthanna Health Office's Public Health Department (2015-2020). In the Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital laboratory, 95 CL samples were collected and examined microscopically for molecular characterization using Giemsa staining.
resultsBetween 2015 and 2020, 2,325 patients (1,184 men and 1,141 women) were enrolled. Although CL occurred across all age groups, those aged range of 5-14 years had the highest proportion of infections (53.0%). This study found that most infections occurred between December and February, peaking in January. Only 63 of 95 CL samples were positive for the Internal Transcribed Spacer 1 region.
conclusionOur study indicates that CL is endemic in the Al-Muthanna province and that two
