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

This case study illustrates a 24-year-old Chinese man who presented with tinea capitis associated with a fungal infection. He was administered a therapeutic regimen consisting of terbinafine, ketoconazole cream, and miconazole shampoo for 2 months. However, the symptoms recurred 3 months after the treatment ended. Fungal culture and sequencing confirmed the infection of Hortaea werneckii. Drug sensitivity testing showed that the infecting strain of the patient remained sensitive to the five commonly used antifungal drugs in vitro. While most cases infected by Hortaea werneckii present with Tinea nigra, the possibility of Hortaea werneckii infection should be considered in patients with tinea capitis living in coastal cities.
