Claim
In an Ethiopian phase II randomized trial of 183 adults with localized Leishmania aethiopica cutaneous leishmaniasis, single-session thermotherapy and weekly intralesional sodium stibogluconate had comparable intention-to-treat cure rates, while per-protocol final cure favored drug treatment; no serious adverse events occurred.

Assessment
Supported
Main unresolved issue: 4 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:93470326-1b64-8f1c-9bd1-6cd20acba021
Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.A quoted passage from link.springer.com and scienmag.com was not found on the page when Galedra fetched it.
Why?
Strongest counted support: The trial found no significant intention-to-treat cure difference, a per-protocol final-cure advantage for drug treatment, and no serious adverse events. weight 1.800000 evidence
Suppressed as dependent: The packet directly supports the sample, intention-to-treat comparison, per-protocol result, and absence of serious adverse events.
Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed
What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Leans supported.
