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

Dermatophytosis is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world and can be caused by several dermatophyte species. These species are closely related in genetic structure in spite of different phenotypic and ecological features. The morphological similarity, variability, and polymorphism of dermatophytes have meant that species identification for dermatophytes is time consuming and requires a significant degree of knowledge and technological expertise. Molecular biology-based techniques have solved problems concerning the morphology-based identification of dermatophytes and have improved our knowledge on the epidemiology of dermatophytosis. Further development of molecular diagnosis of dermatophytosis requires the investigation of additional molecular markers for diagnostic tools targeting multiple loci as well as the improvement of techniques.
