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

Background: There have been several reports of patients with chronic recalcitrant diseases, rare presentations, recurrent relapses, and treatment failure. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the safety profile of topical voriconazole (VCZ) gel 0.25% for effective drug delivery to the skin as an adjuvant therapy in cases of extensive dermatophytosis. Methods and Materials: VCZ 0.25% topical gel was manufactured by Carbomer, and its characteristics such as pH, viscosity, density, and microbial growth were examined at 40 ± 2°C/75 ± 5% RH for six months. The animals were divided into three groups (2:2:2) randomly. The hair from the back of guinea pigs (test sites: 2 cm Results: Agar culture of scrapings from the area indicated the infection development. The fabricated VCZ topical gel exhibited acceptable stability. The VCZ 0.25% gel was proved to be an effective treatment in a time-dependent base, in comparison with terbinafine (1%) as a positive control ( Conclusion: Results from the present study indicated that gel-based VCZ could be utilized as topical therapy for dermatophytosis. Due to the increase of drug-resistant dermatophyte spp., indications of gel base VCZ 0.25% for treating dermatophytosis are believed to increase accordingly.
