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
Background and Purpose: Dermatophytosis, a fungal infection targeting keratinized tissue, is caused by dermatophytes, commonly affecting skin, hair, and nails. Prevalent in tropical regions, such as India, its treatment typically utilizes systemic and topical antifungal medications. Despite ample research on oral antifungals, data on the susceptibility of topical treatments, especially in India, where they are prevalent, remains scarce. This study aimed to investigate the antifungal susceptibility of efinaconazole, tavaborole, luliconazole, and sertaconazole against dermatophytes isolated from cases of dermatophytosis. Materials and Methods: Samples of all the clinically diagnosed cases of dermatophytosis were subjected to microscopy and culture. All 204 dermatophytes, namely Results: The minimum inhibitory concentration values for efinaconazole, tavaborole, sertaconazole, and luliconazole were within the ranges of 0.008-0.5, 1-2, 0.128-2, and 0.004-0.008 µg/ml, respectively across all dermatophytes. Epidemiological cutoff values (ECVs) were 0.004 µg/ml for luliconazole and 2 µg/ml for tavaborole for all dermatophytes. Sertaconazole ECVs were 2 µg/ml for Conclusion: The results from the present study on the
