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

objectiveOnychomycosis is the most common disease of the nails and constitutes about half of all nail abnormalities. Onychomycosis is usually caused by dermatophytes and incomparably less frequently by yeast-like fungi and non-dermatophyte molds. Current treatment options for onychomycosis are ineffective.

methodsThis study evaluated the performance of a commercial and CE-registered product containing antimicrobial peptide hLF1-11 in vitro for treating toenail onychomycosis. In a case-control setting, nail samples from 59 volunteers were obtained before and after treatment by a pedicurist and investigated for the presence of fungi by culturing, barcode sequencing, and MALDI-TOF-MS.

resultsOf 89 samples,

conclusionsThis study showed a positive therapeutic effect of a commercial product containing hLF1-11 in the case of 88.9% of the patients with onychomycosis. The present formulation of hLF1-11 into PBS is stable enough to permit storage at room temperature for at least two years.
