Comprehensive Review on Tinea Infection Therapies: Allopathic and Herbal Approaches for Dermatophytosis.
Review in Recent advances in anti-infective drug discovery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundTinea infections are superficial fungal infections caused by three species of fungi (i.e. Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton) collectively termed dermatophytes. Dermatophytes are fungi that cause skin, nail bed, and hair infections. These infections are classified based on infection site, including tinea pedis (foot), tinea corporis (body), tinea capitis (head), and tinea cruris (groin). Dermatophytes can spread by direct contact with other people (anthropophilic organisms), animals (zoophilic organisms), and soil (geophilic organisms), as well as indirectly from fomities.
objectiveThis review aims to summarize the allopathic drugs along with their mechanism of action and herbal drugs including their parts of the plant used for the treatment of tinea infections.
methodsThe literature review was performed using the following databases: PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), and Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/), to identify the various drugs involved in the treatment of dermatophytosis along with their mechanisms.
resultsThe following keywords were applied in the search strategy: "Tinea", "Dermatophytosis", "Ringworm infection", "Pathogenesis of tinea", "Tinea pedis", and "Tinea capitis". This article also reviews several formulations that are available in the market for treating ringworm infection.
conclusionThe current review provides information about the classification of dermatophytosis based on infection site and environmental habitat, pathogenesis, immunopathogenesis of dermatophytes, and herbals and allopathic drugs used for their treatment.
