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

Dermatophilosis is considered a zoonotic infection. We report 9 cases among men who have sex with men in Barcelona, Spain, during December 2025-March 2026. Whole-genome sequencing revealed highly related isolates forming a distinct lineage within the genus Dermatophilus. Epidemiologic and clinical features of the cases support human-to-human transmission via sexual contact.
