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

Leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by sandflies, rarely presents with urogenital complications. This case highlights an unusual presentation of disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis with urethral involvement. A 42-year-old male from an endemic region presented with macular-papules-nodular lesions on lips, nose, and tongue, accompanied by genital ulcers and urinary complications. Histopathological examination confirmed Leishmania parasites. The patient developed urethral stricture and urethrocutaneous fistula, which were managed successfully with systemic amphotericin B and staged urethroplasty. This case emphasizes the importance of considering leishmaniasis in the differential diagnosis of urogenital manifestations in endemic regions. The successful outcome demonstrates the effectiveness of combined medical and surgical management.
