Dynamics of Skin Mycobiome in Infants.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Understanding the microbial community structure of the human skin is important for treating cutaneous diseases; however, little is known regarding skin fungal communities (mycobiomes). The aim of the present study was to investigate the features of and variations in skin fungal communities during infancy in 110 subjects less than 6 months of age. Skin samples were obtained from the back, antecubital fossa, and volar forearm, while physiological parameters including transepidermal water loss, pH, surface moisture, and deep layer hydration were evaluated. Skin fungal diversity decreased after the first three months of life. Differences in fungal community composition were greater among individual infants than among the three skin sites in the same individual. Inter- and intra-individual variation were similar and lower, respectively, than the variability between two samples obtained 12 weeks apart, from the same site in the same subject, suggesting low stability of fungal communities on infant skin. Skin physiological parameters showed little correlation with skin fungal community structure. Additionally,
