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
Dermatophytids are inflammatory dermatological manifestations, due to immuno-allergic reactions and hypersensitivity to the antigens of a fungal pathogen. We report a rare case of dermatophytid secondary to Trichophyton rubrum onychomycosis, which is unusual due to the causative agent and also given the location and appearance of the lesions. This is a 54-year-old male, with no particular pathological history. He presented with recurrent eczematous and papular skin lesions on both lower limbs for 2 years, associated with neglected toenail onychomycosis, which preceded the skin lesions by 18 months. Biological investigations were unremarkable. Mycological samples were taken from skin lesions and nails of which the mycological examination revealed Trichophyton rubrum onychomycosis for nail samples, while that of the skin rash samples was negative. In view of this picture, which was suggestive of dermatophytid, the patient was prescribed terbinafine with a strong local corticosteroid, and the evolution under treatment was marked by progressive healing of skin lesions. This clinical case highlights an unusual pathology in which the diagnosis is not always obvious and often misknowned by many practitioners.
