Case Notification of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis at Different Elevations in the North-Central Ethiopia from 2018 To 2022.
Article in Iranian journal of parasitology. 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
Background: We aimed to analyze a four-year trend of Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) to determine risk levels and hotspots in North-central Ethiopia. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Boru Meda Hospital (BMH) from March to April 2023, focusing on CL patients treated at the leishmaniasis treatment center (LTC). Data collected included age, gender, CL type, and other clinical factors. Each patient's origin was traced and geographically mapped by elevation to assess CL risk levels. Results: There were a total of 573 CL patients reported from 46 districts, with a higher number of male patients (n=356) compared to female patients (n=217) ( Conclusion: Foci of CL, were burdened at higher elevations and no clinical variation were observed between elevation differences. The majority of cases were concentrated in an area covering approximately 21.4% of the total land mass. CL continues to be a significant issue in North-central Ethiopia and has the potential to spread to new areas.
