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
Introduction: Tinea capitis is a dermatophyte infection of the scalp and hair that predominantly affects preschool children; however, adult cases have received increasing attention in recent years. This study aims to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of adult tinea capitis in Materials and methods: The epidemiological data of adult tinea capitis patients referred to the mycology laboratory of Results: A total of 176 adult tinea capitis were included. The sex ratio was 1:2.59, with 49 (27.8%) males and 127 (72.2%) females. Women over 45 years of age accounted for 102 cases (58%). A total of 130 strains (82.8%) were isolated from 157 adult tinea capitis cases that had fungal culture performed. Cases with negative cultures were excluded from pathogen analysis. The most common pathogens were Conclusion: This study indicates that adult tinea capitis patients were predominantly female, especially those over 45 years of age. The predominant dermatophyte were
