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

Opportunistic fungal infections of the skin and nail are frequently encountered in human. Recent years have shown increased incidence of fungal infections especially in immunocompromised patients. Onychomycosis in HIV-infected patients is reported to occur in 15-40%, four times more than in the general population. Here, we report a case of fingernail proximal subungual onychomycosis with associated skin infection caused by an opportunistic mold, Aspergillus sydowii, in a HIV positive individual. Isolation of A. sydowii from nail and skin of an immunocompromised person needs accurate identification for successful treatment.
