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

We retrospectively analyzed 99 cases of zoonotic dermatophytosis diagnosed by culture over a 10-year period at a dermatological clinic. Microsporum canis was the most frequently isolated species (89 cases), followed by Trichophyton verrucosum (4 cases), T. mentagrophytes (4 cases), T. benhamiae (1 case), and T. erinacei (1 case). Patients < 15 years of age accounted for 31.3% of the cases. Tinea corporis was the predominant clinical form, with frequent facial and upper-extremity involvement. Topical corticosteroid misuse was noted in 37 patients, and multiple family members were affected in 20 cases. M. canis infections were mostly linked to cats, including stray cats and adopted shelter cats. Infections caused by T. benhamiae and T. erinacei were traced to guinea pigs and hedgehogs, respectively. These findings highlight diagnostic challenges and emerging animal reservoirs. The One Health approach requires active surveillance and education across human and animal health.
