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: Oral antifungals were the earliest treatments to receive approval for the management of onychomycosis and have a long-standing record to support their efficacy. Topical antifungals and device-based treatments have been explored and some implemented in more recent years as alternatives to traditional oral antifungals. The present bibliometric analysis summarizes trends in publication frequency for onychomycosis treatment modalities over time and characterizes their body of literature in terms of types of studies available and relative level of evidence. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed using Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. Results: Covering all publications from 1970 to present day, our search identified oral therapeutics Conclusion: With growing concern for non-dermatophyte mold onychomycosis and terbinafine resistance, researchers should validate the efficacy and safety of device-based treatments with high-quality studies.
