Successful treatment of fungal ball-associated tinea capitis in a healthy infant: An unusual presentation.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Key Clinical Message: Presentation of tinea capitis with fungal mass in an infant is extremely rare. Tinea capitis with and without abscess formation is prone to be misdiagnosed in infants and should be considered as a differential diagnosis of inflammatory hair loss in infants and toddlers as well as school-aged children. Abstract: Tinea capitis is the scalp fungal infection that most often affects early school children. It rarely affects neonates and adults. The presentation of fungal ball in the setting of tinea capitis is extremely rare. Herein, we describe a 7-month-old girl with a fungal ball associated with tinea capitis with a scalp mass adjacent to the scalp dermatophytosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of fungal ball in a healthy infant with tinea capitis.
