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
backgroundLeishmaniasis remains a major public health problem in Peru, and the Apurímac, Ene and Mantaro River Valley (VRAEM) is an endemic area where, despite its epidemiological relevance, information on incidence and circulating
methodsWe estimated district-level cumulative incidence of leishmaniasis in the 60 districts of the VRAEM during 2015-2024, using national surveillance data and census population figures. In addition, molecular species typing was performed on 112 Giemsa-stained tissue smears obtained in health facilities located in Ayacucho districts belonging to the VRAEM region.
resultsA total of 3589 cases were reported, yielding an estimated annual incidence rate of 80.01 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, which is 4.3-fold higher than the national average. Marked spatial heterogeneity was observed, with districts such as Pangoa, Río Tambo, Llochegua, and Pichari reporting estimated annual incidence rates above 130 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Furthermore, of 55 samples processed by High-Resolution Melting Analysis,
conclusionsThe VRAEM constitutes a high-transmission endemic focus of tegumentary leishmaniasis with marked inter-district heterogeneity and circulation of multiple
