Electric Heating Pad as an Adjuvant Treatment of Extensive Chromoblastomycosis in Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, caused by melanized fungi. In cases with extensive cutaneous lesions, heat therapy can be used as an adjuvant to systemic antifungal therapy. This case report aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of heat therapy using an electric heating pad as an adjuvant to itraconazole in the treatment of extensive chromoblastomycosis. A 60-year-old immunocompetent male presented with ten-year history of extensive verrucous erythematous plaques with atrophic central lesions located in the right arm. Histology and mycological examination from a direct smear and skin biopsy revealed muriform cells and pathognomonic chromoblastomycosis. Cultures grew dark-pigmented colonies, yielding
