Serpiginous Travels: A Case of Cutaneous Larva Migrans.
Article in Cureus, 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
Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a term used to describe the migrating linear skin lesions caused by the burrowing of parasitic nematode larvae within the epidermis. It may cause significant discomfort and distress to patients despite being a relatively self-limiting condition. We present a case of a 34-year-old female with no significant past medical history who arrived at our institution with a pruritic rash on the left foot. Previous treatment with antivirals and azoles was ineffective. Interestingly, her travel history revealed a recent trip to Barbados which broadened the differential for parasitic infections. The patient was prescribed a course of ivermectin and discharged. She returned to the Infectious Disease clinic three weeks later for follow-up with near resolution of the rash. In our case, we highlight the importance of obtaining a thorough social history when encountering cutaneous lesions as well as key differences in the treatment of hookworm compared to other parasitic infections.
