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 is a chronic cutaneous infection caused by dematiaceous pigmented fungi. Lesions may begin as an erythematous papule, which progresses to a hyperkeratotic plaque. Management of chromoblastomycosis is usually challenging. We report a case of a 12-year-old immunocompetent male child with chromoblastomycosis, characterized by warty, hyperkeratotic plaques on the face. The diagnosis was made by histopathology and clinical examination. Histopathology confirmed the presence of a brownish, dematiaceous, fungal organism with internal septations. The patient was treated with oral itraconazole and terbinafine for six months.
