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

Trichosporon asahii and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa are important fungal species causing disseminated disease in immunocompromised patients. Onychomycosis prevalence rate ranges from 2 to 30%, which were 50% of nail diseases and 30% of superficial mycosis, respectively. Although important, little is known about the co-habitation of T. asahii and R. mucilaginosa in the causation of onychomycosis. Here, we present the co-habitation of T. asahii and R. mucilaginosa as causative agents of onychomycosis in a healthy 41-year-old male in China. Direct microscopic examination, fungal culture and MALDI-TOF MS were employed in isolated pathogens; hence, antifungal susceptibility test was evaluated. T. asahii was sensitive to posaconazole, voriconazole and itraconazole, whereas R. mucilaginosa was sensitive to both 5-flucytosine and amphotericin B. This report highlights the co-habitation of T. asahii and R. mucilaginosa in the causation of onychomycosis and to raise the awareness of this infection among dermatologists.
