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

Following the emergence of germ theory and the importance of infection and its prevention, as advocated by various towering authorities such as Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, and Lord Lister, the focus shifted from the old miasma theory to the role of microorganisms. Consequently, the emphasis was put on disinfectants and antisepsis. Among various chemical disinfecting agents, Condy's solution (potassium permanganate) has remained an important one in the field of dermatology, in particular and medicine in general. The history of Condy's fluid is full of fascinating facts, and the story covers a wide area from the clinic to the court of law. This article is a bird's-eye view of the subject.
