Case Report: A case of borderline lepromatous leprosy and literature review-key clues to expand clinical diagnostic thinking.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Case presentation: A 52-year-old Dai pepole woman presented with the chief complaints of "generalized edema for 6 months and erythema and numbness of the hands and feet for 3 months." Through histopathological examination, acid-fast staining, and Bacterial Index (BI) testing, she was diagnosed with borderline lepromatous leprosy. She was administered a multi-bacillary multidrug therapy (MDT-MB) regimen for anti-leprosy treatment. Conclusion: We report a case of borderline lepromatous leprosy with generalized swelling as the initial symptom and review and analyze misdiagnosed and rare cases reported in the literature. The aim is to provide clinicians with more diagnostic ideas and reference bases and to promote the further development of leprosy prevention and control work.
