1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Onychomycosis (OM) is the most common nail disorder accounting for 40-50% of all onychopathies. Onychomycosis is caused by dermatophytes in majority, mostly Aim and Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the clinical and mycological characteristics of OM in diabetic patients and to evaluate the clinico-etiological correlation, if any. Materials and Methods: Three hundred consecutive diabetic patients were screened, of whom 102 (34%) patients were diagnosed with OM based on clinical, mycological, dermoscopic, and histological criteria. Results: Distal lateral subungual onychomycosis was the most common clinical variant seen in 80 (78.43%) patients. Fungal culture was positive in 57 (55.88%) of which NDMs constituted approximately half (47.61%) of the isolates, followed by Conclusion: Non-dermatophytic molds are increasingly incriminated as the causative organisms for OM in DM and must be considered as potential pathogens in the present scenario, thus necessitating the change in the treatment options accordingly.
