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

Onychomycosis is a common nail disorder typically caused by dermatophytes, with Candida species and non-dermatophytic molds being less frequent agents. Nakaseomyces glabratus (formerly Candida glabrata) is a rare cause of nail infections, notable for its intrinsic resistance to azoles and diagnostic challenges. We report a case of chronic nail discoloration, thickening, and fragility initially misdiagnosed as psoriasis. Microscopy and culture, followed by selective medium analysis, confirmed N. glabratus infection. This case emphasizes the importance of considering uncommon yeast species and highlights both the need for accurate identification to guide therapy and the possible misdiagnosis with other pathologies. Awareness and proper diagnostic approaches are essential for timely and effective management of such rare fungal nail infections.
