Chronic leg ulcers in a patient with filarial lymphedema, varicose veins and hepatitis C virus infection: Healing with local wound management and supportive care.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 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
Chronic ulcer management is often a frustrating experience not only for the patient but for the clinician as well. Many times, conservative local wound management with good supportive care alone may bring about desirable outcomes. We report the healing of long-standing multiple leg ulcers, with dedicated long-term local wound care and supportive management, in a patient suffering from multiple comorbidities - filarial lymphedema, varicose veins and hepatitis C infection. Cutaneous ulcers in association with hepatitis C infection are rarely reported in the literature. We highlight the importance of investigating rare underlying causes that delay wound healing, apart from stressing the significance of local wound care in inducing healing.
