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

backgroundCutaneous Larva Migrans (CLM) is one of the most common zoonotic dermatoses in subtropical and tropical regions and some European countries. It is caused by different types of hookworm, such as Ancylostoma braziliense, Ancylostoma caninum CASE REPORT: A 32-year-old man presented with an extensive eczematous rash that developed during a recent vacation in Thailand. He didn't respond to antihistamines and systemic steroids. Finally, he was diagnosed with an atypical presentation of CLM and treated successfully with anthelminthic therapy.

conclusionThe report of an atypical presentation of CLM is crucial to increase awareness among healthcare workers, helping in early diagnosis and reducing potential psychological distress that patients may face.
