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

objectivesOnychomycosis is a nail infection caused by various fungal agents. In recent years, there has been an increase in cases of onychomycosis caused by rare fungi, which are often challenging to identify using conventional methods. Sometimes, these unusual species exhibit different antifungal susceptibility patterns compared to more common yeast species. Therefore, this study aimed to identify rare yeast species causing onychomycosis and assess their antifungal susceptibility profiles.

resultsNineteen rare and emerging yeast isolates, representing seven species, including Candida orthopsilosis (n = 9, 47.36%), Clavispora lusitaniae (formerly Candida lusitaniae) (n = 2, 10.52%), Wickerhamiella pararugosa (formerly Candida pararugosa) (n = 2, 10.52%), Naganishia diffluens (formerly Cryptococcus diffluens) (n = 2, 10.52%), Wickerhamomyces anomalus (n = 2, 10.52%), Cyberlindnera fabianii (n = 1, 5.26%), and Meyerozyma caribbica (formerly Candida fermentati) (n = 1, 5.26%), were identified. Most rare yeast agents exhibited high minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for fluconazole.
