Forgotten fungi: the importance of the skin mycobiome.
Review in Current opinion in microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
The mosaic ecosystems of microbes that live on our skin encompass not only bacteria but also fungi, microeukaryotes, and viruses. As the second most prevalent group, unique fungal communities are found across the dry, moist, and oily microenvironments of human skin, and alterations of these communities are largely driven by changes in skin physiology throughout an individual's lifespan. Fungi have also been associated with infection and dermatological disorders, resulting from the disrupted balance between fungal-bacterial networks on the skin. Mechanisms of colonization resistance toward fungi in the skin microbiome of animals have advanced our understanding in conservation strategies, yet in the human skin, the fungal microbiome (mycobiome) remains vastly unexplored. Here, we review recent studies on the role of fungi in the skin microbiome, emphasizing how fungal-bacterial interactions at the skin surface play an important ecological function in vertebrate hosts.
