Yellow Nail Syndrome: A Differential Diagnosis That Must Be in Mind.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a rare disorder that consists of a clinical triad of thickened yellow nails, lymphedema, and recurring respiratory symptoms. These findings can occur simultaneously or additively, and the characteristic nail changes are an obligatory feature for the diagnosis. The diagnosis of YNS is one of exclusion, and although it is more often an isolated condition, it can occur secondary to immune or neoplastic disorders. Involvement of the respiratory tract occurs in most cases and has a diverse clinical presentation, including pleural effusion and recurrent pneumonia. Due to the rarity of this syndrome and the limited availability of effective treatments, YNS remains associated with substantial morbidity. We present a case of a 58-year-old woman who had a history of recurrent pneumonia, chronic sinusitis, arthralgias, and yellow dystrophic nails that was diagnosed with YNS, and in which daily supplementation with vitamin E resulted in a remarkable clinical improvement.
