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

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) pose a significant threat to the health of millions of people worldwide, particularly in impoverished populations in tropical and subtropical regions. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers certain fungal infections, such as chromoblastomycosis, as NTDs. Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue, primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. This case report presents a 46-year-old female patient with chromoblastomycosis who had a history of renal transplantation and was receiving immunosuppressive therapy. The patient exhibited dark, verrucous, and ulcerative lesions on the legs, and the diagnosis was confirmed through the microscopic examination of skin scrapings by observing medlar bodies. Two sequential fungal tissue cultures and ITS sequencing verified the presence of
