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

A 68-year-old White man presented with a 3-month history of two nontender, pruritic, erythematous plaques on his left arm. He had a medical history of chronic plaque psoriasis that has been stable on guselkumab treatment, an anti-interleukin-23 monoclonal antibody, for 5 years. The lesions persisted, despite topical treatments. His medical history also included previous cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, recurrent penile Bowen disease and psoriasis that responded inadequately to -multiple biologics before the initiation of guselkumab. A biopsy of a persistent lesion was carried out, which confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Histopathology demonstrated extensive alignment of amastigotes along the peripheries of histocytes, a pathognomonic sign known as the 'marquee sign'. Physical examinations and serology were unremarkable. Polymerase chain reaction of the tissue biopsy identified possible involvement of
