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

Tinea pedis is a type of dermatophytosis caused by anthropophilic keratinolytic fungi such as Trichophyton interdigitale. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is a reliable and reproducible technique for measuring changes in target gene expression across various biological conditions. A crucial aspect of accurate normalization is the choice of appropriate internal controls. To identify reference genes for accurate evaluation of expression levels in T. interdigitale, the transcription levels of eight candidate reference genes (adp-rf, β-act, ef1-α, gapdh, psm1, sdha, rpl2 and ubc) and one target gene (Tri m4) were analysed by RT-qPCR after growing the dermatophyte under different environmental conditions. The results obtained from expression stability evaluations with NormFinder, geNorm, BestKeeper, and RefFinder software demonstrated that adp-rf and psm1 were the most stable internal control genes across all experimental conditions. The present study constitutes the first report of the identification and validation of reference genes for RT-qPCR normalization for T. interdigitale grown under different environmental conditions resembling the conditions encountered by fungi during invasion of skin.
