Real-Time PCR Identification of Six Malassezia Species.
Article in Current microbiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
Lipophilic yeast Malassezia species is widely found on the skin surface of humans and other animals. This fungus can cause pityriasis versicolor, Malassezia folliculitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. Still now, there is a problem with species identification of Malassezia with conventional methods. We developed a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with multiple hybridization probes for detecting M. globosa, M. furfur, M. restricta, M. sympodialis, M. slooffiae, and M. pachydermatis. The amplification curves and specific melting peaks of the probes hybridized with real-time PCR product were used for species identifications. The assay was further evaluated on 120 samples which were performed by swabbing from 60 domestic animals (23 goats, 10 dogs, 15 cows, 3 cats, 8 rabbits, and 1 donkey) and in 70 human samples (28 patients with pityriasis versicolor, 17 breeders, and 25 control group). Fifteen M. pachydermatis were identified from animals. From human, 61 isolates were identified as M. globosa (28), M. furfur (15), M. restricta (6), M. sympodialis (8), M. slooffiae (2), and M. pachydermatis (2). Eight cases of co-detection from 6 patients and 2 breeders were revealed. Our findings show that the assay was highly effective in identifying Malassezia species. The application of multiplex real-time PCR provides a sensitive and rapid identification system for Malassezia species, which may be applied in further epidemiological surveys from clinical samples.
