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: Tinea versicolor is a common superficial fungal infection caused by Case Presentation: An 18-year-old active duty female with extensive tinea versicolor, likely precipitated by military training in hot and humid conditions, presented to the dermatology clinic. Given the patient's inability to consistently apply topical treatments during military activities and the limited efficacy of oral antifungals, the patient underwent in-office treatment with a salicylic acid 30% peel. Two peels were administered 10 days apart. At 3 weeks posttreatment the arm lesions were no longer evident and there was significant improvement of the lesions on her back. Incidental improvement in acne vulgaris was also noted. Conclusions: This case highlights the potential use of a salicylic acid 30% peel as an effective in-office treatment for tinea versicolor, particularly in patients who face challenges with topical medication adherence. The peel also offers additional benefits for patients with concomitant acne.
