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

Onychomycosis, a common fungal nail infection, affects >20% of adults over age 60 and >50% of people over age 70. Onychomycosis may cause pain, psychosocial problems, and secondary infections, therefore meriting treatment. This review describes the range of treatment modalities, including FDA-approved systemic drugs and topical therapies. Additionally, new and emerging oral and topical therapies are discussed. We emphasize the importance of tailoring onychomycosis therapy to individual patient characteristics, comorbidities, preferences, extent of nail involvement, and fungal species, such that physicians may optimize treatment outcomes, patient satisfaction, and safety.
