Can Serum UL16 Binding Protein 3 Tell Us More about Tinea Capitis?
Article in International journal of trichology. 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
Background: The most frequent pediatric dermatophyte infection globally is tinea capitis (TC). Hair follicles have a variety of immunological defense mechanisms to stop infections from entering it. Natural-killer group 2, member D receptor ligands include unique long binding protein 3 (ULBP3) has a significant impact on the regulation of immunological reactions that are innate and adaptive. Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the serum level of ULBP3 in patients with TC, its clinical significance, relation to types of dermatophytes, disease severity, and pathogenesis. Materials and Methods: There were 60 TC patients and 30 normal subjects in this case-control study. A culture of hair samples was done on Sabouraud dextrose agar with cycloheximide to know the type of dermatophyte, and the serum level of ULBP3 was done using ELIZA. Results: TC patients reported substantially higher plasma ULBP3 concentrations than healthy controls ( Conclusions: Serum ULBP3 might be involved in TC pathogenesis. Moreover, ULBP3 serum level could be considered a standalone risk predictor for TC susceptibility, activity, and severity.
