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

Rheumatoid nodules are the most common extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis. Long-term immunomodulatory therapies, including corticosteroids, used in the management of rheumatoid arthritis are associated with a higher risk of infections. Leishmaniasis is a neglected protozoal infection that may arise in these patients. Cutaneous presentation is the most common and is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and courses, depending on the interplay between species involved and the host's immune response. Here, we report the rare and intriguing case of a patient with long-standing rheumatoid arthritis, chronically treated with systemic prednisone, whose rheumatoid nodules were colonized by
