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

Phaeohyphomycosis is a rare subcutaneous fungal infection caused by dematiaceous fungi, commonly presenting as cystic swellings or subcutaneous abscesses. These infections predominantly affect immunocompromised individuals, including transplant recipients, due to impaired cell-mediated immunity, which plays a crucial role in fungal defense. We report three cases of post-renal transplant phaeohyphomycosis, presenting within six to 12 months post transplant. The diagnosis was based on clinical features and potassium hydroxide (KOH) mount findings showing pigmented septate hyphae. Histopathological examination of skin biopsy with Gomori methenamine silver stain confirmed pigmented hyphae, and culture identified
