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
Fungal skin infections caused by dermatophytes are of significant veterinary and zoonotic concern. This study investigated the prevalence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of dermatophytosis in dogs and cats with skin lesions. A total of 140 animals (90 dogs and 50 cats) that presented with skin lesions (alopecia, crusts, pruritus, and scales) were examined. Identification of dermatophyte isolates relied on both phenotypic characteristics and molecular techniques. The molecular approach involved PCR and sequencing of ribosomal DNA regions (ITS1, ITS2, and 5.8S rDNA), complemented by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP). Treatment regimens included topical clotrimazole, systemic itraconazole, supportive therapy, and a dermatophyte vaccine. Of the 90 dog samples examined, 47 (52.22%) were positive for fungal culture (
