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

Miltefosine, an orally administered drug, is an important component of the therapeutic arsenal against visceral and mucosal forms of leishmaniasis. However, data regarding the safety and tolerability of miltefosine treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) are relatively limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the tolerability, safety, and adverse events (AEs) of miltefosine treatment in patients with CL. In this cohort study, we reviewed the medical records of all miltefosine-treated patients between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2022, at Israel Defense Forces military dermatology clinics and the dermatology and Tropical Medicine Clinics at Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Ramat-Gan, Israel. A total of 68 patients (54 males, 79%) with a median age of 30.3 ± 15.6 years (range: 18-88) were included in this study.
