Cutaneous leishmaniasis of the eyelids: Retrospective evaluation of 18 patients.
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveAlthough eyelid involvement is rare in cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), it can cause severe ocular complications if the diagnosis is delayed and not treated. Our purpose in this study is to examine the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment methods as well as accompanying ocular complications in patients with CL diagnosis and eyelid involvement.
methodsIn this retrospective study, the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment methods of the disease as well as accompanying ocular complications were examined for 18 patients with CL diagnosis and eyelid involvement between May 2018 and October 2022 in our Dermatology and venereal diseases clinic.
results10 (55%) of the patients were male and 8 (45%) were female. Unilateral lower eyelid involvement was most common (9 patients [50%]). Chalazion-like lesions (8 patients [45%]) were observed most commonly. All patients were diagnosed with CL by direct microscopic examination and were given systemic meglumine antimonate treatment. No ocular complications were observed in any of the patients.
conclusionIt should be kept in mind that eyelid involvement may occur in CL, and ophthalmological examinations of these cases should be performed and treatment should be initiated in the early period to prevent possible ocular complications.
