Assessing the Therapeutic Efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy, Fractional CO
Trial report in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundOnychomycosis, a common fungal nail infection, poses challenges for traditional treatments due to long durations, liver toxicity risks, resistance, and poor nail penetration. So, alternative management approaches, which could involve combination therapy or methods to enhance topical drug delivery for optimal treatment efficacy, should be considered.
aimsThis study evaluates the effectiveness of combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) with fractional CO PATIENTS/
methodsForty-five patients with onychomycosis were included in the study. Patients were randomly assigned to three groups: PDT alone, fractional CO
resultsThe combined therapy group showed the best results, with 86.7% testing negative for onychomycosis and 26.7% achieving full nail clearance. Posttreatment satisfaction levels showed no significant differences among groups (p = 0.198).
