Dermoscopy-aided diagnosis of uncommon onychauxis in a 21-year-old: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in IDCases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Onychauxis, described as localized hypertrophy of the nail plate manifests as a thick, hyperkeratotic, and discolored nail. It is most commonly reported among the elderly and sometimes misdiagnosed as onychomycosis. In this case report, we present a rare occurrence of onychauxis in a 21‑year‑old male, complicated by onychocryptosis of both the medial and lateral nail folds of the left great toe and exacerbated by concurrent onychomycosis. Diagnosis was supported by dermoscopy, an increasingly utilized tool in evaluating fungal nail infections. Surgical nail avulsion followed by oral antifungal therapy resulted in improvement. This report underscores the importance of considering fungal etiologies in younger patients with severe nail dystrophy and highlights the role of dermoscopy in outpatient diagnostic workflow.
