Actinomycetoma by Nocardia asteroides: A Case Report of a Unique Neglected Tropical Disease From North India.

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
Nocardial mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease reported worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. It is ubiquitous in nature and is a soil-borne, gram-positive, filamentous, aerobic bacteria with acute angle branching. Traumatic inoculation in endemic areas is the primary mode of infection of this debilitating disease. The clinical triad of tumefaction, draining sinus, and pus discharge with granules is very much characteristic and specific for clinching the diagnosis of mycetoma. However, the painless nature of the primary skin lesion often makes the patient present late to the clinician, often in the advanced stages of the disease. Here, we present a very intriguing case report of a young female patient who presented with a single neck nodule but was later diagnosed as a case of nocardial mycetoma. Timely diagnosis and initiation of therapy proved to be a boon for the patient with almost complete recovery within a few weeks in the form of healed skin lesions and insignificant scarring.
