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

Leishmaniasis is caused by an obligate intracellular protozoa of the genus Leishmania. Its clinical manifestations include cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral forms. Sporotrichoid cutaneous leishmaniasis (SCL) is an atypical and rare form of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) reported mainly in the Old World. This case report describes SCL in a Japanese man infected with Leishmania (Viannia) peruviana in Peru. His lesions occurred on both feet, with the left foot lesion being a simple CL that resolved spontaneously. However, the lesion on the right foot did not cure by itself; instead, it progressed centrally along the lymph nodes, eventually forming an SCL. Amastigotes were detected in both feet and genetically identified as L. (V.) peruviana. The lesions gradually resolved after treatment with intravenous liposomal amphotericin B. Here, we report the first case of SCL caused by L. (V.) peruviana.
