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

This study presents the case of a 54-year-old woman, otherwise healthy, who presented with a 4-month history of red plaques with central ulceration, which had initially developed from painless papules. The lesions appeared on her right arm and trunk, two months after her travel to Morocco. Physical examination revealed a 7 cm × 5 cm red plaque with central ulceration and crusting on her right arm, along with papules and plaques on her trunk. Based on microbiological, histopathological, and PCR results, the patient was diagnosed with Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis. After receiving two sessions of intralesional pentavalent antimonial treatment, the patient was left with only a minor scar and experienced negligible side effects, except for moderate aching during therapy.
