Mycological aspects of onychomycosis in Khuzestan Province, Iran: A shift from dermatophytes towards yeasts.
Article in Current medical mycology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
background and purposeOnychomycosis is fungal infection of the nails with an overall increasing incidence, worldwide. The epidemiological aspects of onychomycosis in Khuzestan, Iran, have not been established. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical and mycological status of fungal nail infection in Khuzestan Province, Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study population included 433 patients (143 males vs. 290 females). Nail samples underwent primary direct microscopy and culture. The isolated yeasts and dermatophytes were then subjected to additional molecular identification by r-DNA ITS-RFLP. Identification of some non-dermatophytic molds (NDMs) and unknown yeasts was accomplished by ITS and beta-tubulin sequencing.
resultsOnychomycosis was confirmed in 154 patients (males: 36.4%; n=56 vs. females: 63.6%; n=98), whose age ranged from 2 to 85 years, with the highest prevalence in the age group of 41-50 years. Infection mostly occurred due to yeasts (57.15%), with
conclusionThe study highlights that in Khuzestan province, the causative agents of onychomycosis have shifted from dermatophytes to yeasts.
