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

introductionPityriasis Versicolor (PV) is a common health problem caused by genus

aimTo spot a light on the distribution and clinico-epidemiological features of the MATERIALS AND

methodsA cross-sectional study including 167 individuals; 137 clinically suspected PV patients attending Mansoura University Hospitals, Egypt and 30 healthy control individuals, was carried out. Characterization of

resultsA 94.2% of PV samples and 13.3% of control samples were positive by Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) while 71.5% of PV samples and 16.7% of control samples yielded growth in culture with high statistically significant differences (p=0.0001, for both methods). By phenotypic methods, only 75.5% of isolates from patients were identified as:
