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

The treatment of leishmaniasis has limitations due to drug toxicity and the increasing resistance of the parasite. In this study, we analyze the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis and treatment of leishmaniasis, as well as in new therapeutic alternatives of natural origin. The evasion mechanisms against the host immune response involve surface molecules present in the parasite, which modulate oxidative stress to ensure its survival. Drug treatment requires strict monitoring to minimize adverse reactions and ensure patient safety, as mechanisms such as lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and depletion of antioxidant defenses are associated with drug toxicity. Plant-derived products with antileishmanial activity impact the parasite's redox balance, inducing apoptosis and reducing its parasitic load. Most studies are still in preliminary stages, making in vivo assays and clinical studies essential, along with the development of accessible formulations. Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of leishmaniasis, as
