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

This narrative review synthesizes the current evidence on the geographic distribution, diagnostic approaches, and clinical and epidemiological characteristics of Viscerotropic leishmaniasis (VTL) in both human and animal hosts in Iran. A comprehensive search of electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, etc.) was conducted for articles (1997 to 2025) reporting VTL in Iran with PCR-based species confirmation. Twenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The findings indicate that VTL in Iran is predominantly caused by
