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

purposeCutaneous botryomycosis is a chronic, granulomatous infection of the skin caused by different bacteria that form granular aggregates. We aim to provide a complete, comprehensive, and updated review of cutaneous botryomycosis, including a review of cases published in the last decade.

resultsPatients with botryomycosis typically present multiple nodules, sinuses, abscesses, fistulae, and ulcers, which develop during weeks or months. The current gold standard for diagnosing botryomycosis involves a combination of histopathological examination and microbial culture. A definitive diagnosis is established when clinical and pathological findings align with the presence of botryomycosis, supported by the identification of non-filamentous bacteria forming granules and positive culture. The most frequent isolated etiological agents are Staphylococcus aureus followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The differential diagnosis includes mycetoma, actinomycosis, and carcinomas/sarcomas. Treatment includes antibiotics and, in selected cases, surgical debridement.
