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

The rising incidence of dermatophytosis, marked by atypical presentations and increasing resistance to treatment, has posed significant challenges to effective clinical management, particularly in regions like Nepal, where localized guidance is limited. In response, a panel of dermatology experts in Nepal conducted a structured literature review and employed a modified Delphi process to develop updated consensus recommendations. These guidelines aim to assist clinicians in making informed decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment, with an emphasis on improving patient outcomes. The consensus highlights key treatment principles, including the potential role of combination therapy and considerations for both localized and more complex presentations of the disease.
