Prevalence of dermatophyte infections in cats in Ramadi and Fallujah Cities, Iraq.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Dermatophytosis, which is characterized by superficial infection of keratinized tissues, is the most frequent fungal disease in small animal veterinary medicine. Diagnosing dermatophytosis purely according to clinical indications is problematic because dermatological findings vary, and various other skin diseases resemble the characteristic fungal lesion. Aim: This study aimed to detect the prevalence of dermatophytes in pet cats with skin lesions who presented to private veterinary clinics in Ramadi and Fallujah cities, Iraq. Methods: The current research presents the laboratory findings of an extensive survey examining the fungal etiology of skin disorders by analyzing skin-scraping specimens from cats with clinical suspicion of dermatophytosis. Samples were collected from one hundred and thirty-six cats ( Results: All samples showed positive results for the Wood's Lamp test; the percentage of positive dermatophyte specimens was 64 [47%]. Conclusion: The study concluded that dermatophytes are highly prevalent in crossbreeds, males, and young animals, and high infection rates are reported in the winter season.
