The Success of Topical Treatment of Onychomycosis Seems to Be Influenced by Fungal Features.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo evaluate the topical treatment of onychomycosis using a 10% hydroalcoholic propolis extract (PE) in two aleatorily chosen patients and analyze possible risk factors from hosts including some particularities of the isolated fungi that may justify the outcomes achieved. MATERIALS AND
methodsA topical treatment, with PE, was started in two cases of toe onychomycosis due to
resultsWithin four months, both patients showed evident improvement, but with different outcomes. The possible host-related risk factors justifying the poorer outcome in patient 1 include a longer duration time of onychomycosis (50 years). Some particularities in the
conclusionsA partial clinical and complete mycological cure for the two patients was achieved after four months of PE daily use. Despite a complete recovery, a different outcome was observed between both cases. A more persistent onychomycosis, added to greater fungal potential to produce biofilm on the nail, seems to influence greatly the success of a topical treatment with PE.
