[Case report of human myiasis caused by Cochliomyia hominivorax in Mexico].

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: Myiasis is the infestation of living or necrotic tissues of humans and animals by dipteran larvae. It is endemic to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas and Africa. It occurs most frequently in vulnerable populations, and it is associated with open wounds, poor hygiene, and predisposing medical conditions. The objective was to describe 2 clinical cases of cutaneous myiasis in humans confirmed in Mexico. Clinical cases: The first case occurred in a 77-year-old woman, and it was secondary to mild traumatic brain injury according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. The second in a 74-year-old man with advanced basal cell carcinoma on the right side of his face. In both cases, samples were sent to the State Public Health Laboratory (LESP) and the National Service for Agrifood Health, Safety and Quality (SENASICA), where the taxonomic diagnosis of Cochliomyia hominivorax was confirmed. Conclusions: Myiasis is a preventable disease of epidemiological importance which was considered eradicated in Mexico since 1991. Early diagnosis and comprehensive medical-surgical treatment allow for a favorable evolution and prognosis, with the prevention of serious complications.
