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

Chromoblastomycosis, phaeohyphomycotic abscesses, and sporotrichosis are fungal diseases usually caused by traumatic inoculation that cause substantial morbidity and can lead to long-term sequalae and inability to work. Few studies have analyzed the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of these mycoses in the United States, particularly among minority populations. We estimated prevalence and described features of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) persons with these diseases using Indian Health Service (IHS) data during 2016-2022. Chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycotic abscess prevalence was 9 per 1,000,000, and sporotrichosis prevalence was 5 per 1,000,000 IHS user population. Prevalence was highest in the Southern Plains region for both diseases. Several patients experienced amputation, tissue fibrosis or scarring, or lymphedema. These findings provide baseline data for monitoring prevalence or changes in geographic distribution of implantation mycoses in AI/AN persons. Although cases are rare, these findings underscore the need for standardized clinical guidance to prevent long-term disability and decreased quality of life.
