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

We report a case of a researcher from a laboratory of Mycology in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil that presented a clinical evidence of sporotrichosis. The researcher had an accident while manipulating the microculture slides of chromoblastomycosis agents and presented a clinical evidence of sporotrichosis. As the laboratory has some cultures of Sporothrix schenckii, it was suggested that it might be a laboratory contamination. In order to test this hypothesis, the genotypic characterization of the samples was performed by means of the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis method. In addition, we evaluated the in vitro antifungal activity of four antifungal agents against the isolated fungus. The sample obtained from the researcher was not genetically similar to any of the samples kept in the laboratory and showed the minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.5 μg/mL for itraconazole and ketoconazole, > 64 μg/mL for fluconazole and 0.125 μg/mL for terbinafine. It is suggested that the contamination had an environmental origin.
