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
backgroundWhite piedra (WP) is an asymptomatic superficial mycosis that affects the hair stems, forming whitish nodules caused by various species of the genus
objectiveTo present a case series of WP of the head, its epidemiological data, as well as clinical, mycological, and therapeutic experience.
methodsWe conducted a 12-year retrospective and observational study of WP cases tested by dermoscopy, mycological study, and the identification of species through morphology, biochemistry, and proteomics (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry). The treatment was based on ketoco-nazole shampoo as well as keratolytics.
resultsWe included 14 cases of WP, all located in the head and 1 case with both head and scrotum affected. Nine cases (64.3%) presented in children aged < 15 years. The majority of the cases (13/14, 92.8%) were women. Two cases were associated with hyperkeratosis and intertrigo. Most patients had long hair and excessive moisture. In all cases hair nodules were observed and
conclusionWP was observed in school-age girls. The diagnosis was based on the observation of hair nodules and its main etiologic agent was
