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

Phaeohyphomycosis is a fungal infection caused by dematiaceous fungi that presents as a superficial, cutaneous, subcutaneous, or systemic infection. Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis is the most common manifestation and presents as a subcutaneous nodule or cystic lesions and abscesses. It usually results from traumatic implantation of the saprophytic fungus from soil and vegetative matter; therefore, the commonest sites of infection are the extremities. Rarely, involvement of the eyelid is seen with extensive facial infection or as a part of multiple nodular lesions in the face, scalp, or other regions in cases of cutaneous/subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis. Here, we report a case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis presenting as a solitary nodular lesion of the eyelid with extension into the anterior orbit in a 35-year-old immunocompetent male. The patient was successfully treated with combined surgical and medical therapy.
