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

The investigation of the fungal etiologies of otomycoses is a rare occurrence in Senegal. The present study aspires to ascertain the profile of these mycoses within the confines of Ziguinchor. Conducted from 3 February 2021 to 31 August 2022, this retrospective descriptive study encompassed a total of 82 patients presenting with clinically suspected otomycosis within the otolaryngology (ENT) department of the Ziguinchor Peace Hospital (ZPH). In this study, two samples were collected from the external auditory canal (EAC) of each patient using sterile swabs. These samples were first observed by direct microscopy and then cultured at 30 °C on Sabouraud chloramphenicol with or without cycloheximide. The identification of the isolates was based on their macroscopic, microscopic, and physiological characteristics. The mycological examination was positive in 70 patients, with a prevalence of 85.37%. The most prevalent fungal isolates were
