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

aimsThis study identified and determined antibiograms of keratinolytic dermatophytes (DM), non-dermatophytic molds (NDM), and yeasts causing onychomycosis.

methodsMorphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics were used to identify DM and NDM. The keratinolytic activity (KA) and antibiograms were conducted with keratin azure and the agar diffusion method, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were determined using the microdilution method.

resultsOnychomycosis was more prevalent in males (53%) than females, toenails (57%) than fingernails, and commercial employees (40%) than other employees or unemployed. Fungal growth was observed in 92.5% nail samples. DM, NDM, and yeasts caused 46%, 35%, and 19% onychomycosis, respectively.

conclusionMultidrug resistance is growing in keratinolytic DM and NDM.
