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

Dermatophytes are the fungi that can cause infections of skin, hair, and nails due to their ability to utilize keratin. The genetic transformation systems of dermatophytes were successfully applied to Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis. Here we describe the procedure for genetic transformation of Trichophyton rubrum by electroporation of their germinated conidia. A linearized transformation vector (pCHSH75-Pch/GFP/TtrpC) containing bacterial hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) and green fluorescent protein gene (egfp) was introduced into the germinated conidia of T. rubrum by electroporation. PCR reaction analysis showed that egfp gene was integrated randomly and Southern blotting analysis demonstrated a single integration of hph gene into the chromosomal DNA of randomly selected transformant. In this work we report the efficient transformation and selection of the stable T. rubrum transformants.
