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

Introduction: Tinea capitis (TC) is a common fungal infection of the scalp, especially in children. Trichoscopy is a noninvasive technique that allows rapid and magnified Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of trichoscopy in clinical diagnosis and to study various clinico-morphological patterns of TC. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study included 140 clinically diagnosed cases of TC seen during a period of 1 year (April 2021 to March 2022). All patients were evaluated using a dermoscope (DermLite DL4 Multispectral 3 Gen, San Juan Capistrano, CA, USA,10×). Results: The prevalence rate of TC in this study was 2.69 per thousand population. The most common clinical variant was gray patch followed by kerion and black dot, and the most common etiological agent was Conclusion: Trichoscopy can be considered a novel tool for rapid diagnosis and selection of the appropriate therapy and in the monitoring of treatment efficacy in TC.
