Epidemiological and Evaluative Study of the Prevalence of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Najaf Governorate, Iraq.

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: The developing world encounter rising Leishmaniasis. Therefore, it remains a substantial public health burden in Iraq. A revised dataset on its prevalence and distribution are essential. We aimed to evaluate the epidemiological status of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Najaf Governorate and evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of included drugs. Methods: The investigation was conducted in several hospitals in Najaf City, Iraq from March 2023 to May 2025. Samples were collected from 275 suspected patients. Of these, 157 were confirmed to be infected with the disease (103 males and 54 females). Their ages ranged from 3 to 48 years. Results: Males constituted most of the total infections, accounting for 65.6% of cases, whereas females represented only 34.4%. Regarding distribution, Rural areas recorded the highest proportion of cases (71.34%), while urban areas comprised the remaining percentage (28.66%). Regarding monthly variation, January, February, March, and November represented the peak period, comprising 50.3% of the confirmed cases. Concerning lesion localization, facial lesions were the most common, representing 38.22% of the total cases. Conclusion: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is found among individuals in the surveyed hospitals, suggesting a significant health issue. Further research is necessary to determine the diseases spread across Iraq and to guide control measures.
