Epidemiology of Onychomycosis in an Academic Nail Unit in South Greece during a Three-Year Period.
Article in Skin appendage disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundOnychomycosis is the most common disease of the nails.
objectiveThis retrospective study aimed at evaluating the epidemiology of onychomycosis in adult patients in South Greece during the 2015-2017 period. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 3,226 patients with clinical signs of possible onychomycosis were included. Diagnosis was confirmed by microscopy with KOH 20% and by culture in Sabouraud agar with and without actidione.
resultsDiagnosis of onychomycosis was confirmed in 27.99% of the patients. Men were infected more often (40.04%) than women (23.30%). Toenails (68.77%) were infected more than fingernails (31.23%) in both sexes. Onychomycosis in fingernails was more common among women (39.74%) than men (18.51%). Men were more often diagnosed with onychomycosis in toenails (81.49%) than women (60.26%). Dermatophytes were the most frequently isolated fungi (34.11%), followed by
conclusionOnychomycosis in Greece follows a pattern of higher incidence in males, with toenails more frequently infected with
