T. indotineae: A New Emergent Fungal Pathogen Driven by Global Travel.
Synthesis in Mycoses, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe global spread of Trichophyton indotineae, a multidrug-resistant dermatophyte, remains insufficiently understood due to limited data on migration-associated dissemination and emerging local transmission. This study reviewed available evidence and integrated international migration statistics to assess the worldwide distribution of this pathogen and the influence of human mobility on its expansion.
methodsA systematic search in Scopus and PubMed (September 9, 2025) included epidemiological studies, case reports, and letters. Extracted variables comprised country of diagnosis, probable country of infection, and reported transmission scenarios. Migration data from the International Organization for Migration were incorporated to explore links between population movements and fungal spread, including indirect or undocumented routes.
resultsOf the 224 publications identified, 89 met the inclusion criteria, reporting a total of 1215 cases outside India across 36 countries. Europe accounted for 545 cases, followed by North America with 90 cases and Oceania with 87 cases, while South America and Africa reported only sporadic detections. Fifty studies described imported infections, whereas 11 documented autochthonous transmission. Integrated analysis revealed three primary dissemination corridors: intra-Asian, Asia-Europe, and Asia-America.
conclusionsTrichophyton indotineae is now globally disseminated and strongly shaped by travel and migration. Coordinated international action, standardized diagnostics, harmonized treatment guidelines, and integrated surveillance are urgently required to mitigate its expanding public health impact worldwide.
