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 caused by Leishmania infantum is endemic in the south of France. Here, we report a case of isolated pulmonary leishmaniasis in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In November 2023, the patient underwent a transbronchial biopsy, which resulted in a histopathological diagnosis of leishmaniasis. This finding was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing targeting Leishmania species on the biopsy tissue and positive serology, although the results of PCR testing on peripheral blood were negative. These results supported a diagnosis of isolated pulmonary leishmaniasis. Additionally, no clinical or biological indicators of visceral leishmaniasis were identified. Atypical forms of leishmaniasis are rare and often lead to delayed diagnosis. In cases with unusual clinical presentations and a history of exposure in an endemic area, evaluation for leishmaniasis should include a comprehensive assessment of all potentially affected organs, regardless of the patient's immune status.
