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

Superficial fungal infections (SFIs) account for approximately 2% of outpatient visits. Individual, environmental, and socioeconomic factors may increase susceptibility. The objective was to identify the etiological agents of SFIs and the predisposing factors. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on patients attending the Level I Hospital in Puerto Piray, Misiones Province, Argentina, during a community intervention between 2022 and 2023. Statistical analysis was performed on the studied variables and their association with the identified etiological agents. A total of 138 clinical samples were collected from 107 patients with lesions suggestive of SFIs. Of the samples studied, 37% had an identified etiological agent. The majority were women (65%), those aged over 45 years (29%), and patients with underlying conditions (50%). A lack of access to sewage systems (100%) and potable water (19%) and overcrowding (19%) were observed. Dermatophytes (46%) were the most frequent etiological agents, with
