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

backgroundNon-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NTAP) generates reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and ultraviolet radiation, which can inactivate microorganisms. Onychomycosis treatment is challenging, and its prognosis is poor owing to mixed infections and dermatophytosis. Although NTAP has shown

objectiveWe evaluated the effects of NTAP on fungi, including NDMs, and infected nail plates.

methodsFor the

results

conclusionNTAP has antifungal effects on dermatophytes, yeast, and NDMs. We suggest that the intensity and time of NTAP application should be adjusted according to each strain and can be more effective when NTAP directly reaches the hyphae on the nail bed or subungual hyperkeratosis.
