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

Tinea incognita is an atypical presentation of dermatophytosis, usually modified by prior corticosteroid exposure, which may obscure the clinical diagnosis and mimic inflammatory dermatoses. We report the case of a 27-year-old woman at 35 weeks of gestation who presented with a three-week history of painful inflammatory lesions involving the gluteal region and posterior thighs. The eruption initially presented as bilateral erythema of the inguinal folds and gluteal area and worsened rapidly after topical mometasone treatment. Physical examination revealed extensive, symmetrical, well-demarcated erythematous plaques with fine scaling and numerous peripheral pustules. Given the pustular morphology and pregnancy context, pustular psoriasis was initially considered. However, direct mycological examination was positive, and fungal culture subsequently identified
