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

Cutaneous leishmaniasis, transmitted by sand flies of the genus Phlebotomus, is one of the most important traveler's dermatoses in Germany. In recent years, an increased incidence of the disease has been observed in travelers returning from endemic areas, including the Mediterranean region of Spain and Italy. In these regions, Leishmania infantum belonging to the Leishmania donovani complex is characteristically the most frequently detected pathogen. We herein report two cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum with solitary or multilocular lesions, initially misdiagnosed as actinic keratosis and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
