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

Dermatophytosis is a cutaneous mycosis caused by keratinolytic fungi, classified as dermatophytes, affecting 20-25% of the global population and representing a significant public health concern. The disease manifests as circular, erythematous, pruritic, and desquamative skin lesions, hair breakage and loss, and nail degradation, leading to considerable morbidity. In addition, dermatophytosis can markedly impair patients' quality of life. Despite the high global prevalence of dermatophytosis, the causative agents are often misdiagnosed, and there is limited data on the epidemiology and genomic surveillance of dermatophytosis worldwide. This review aims to update the global epidemiology of dermatophytosis and dermatophytes while addressing their taxonomy, pathogenesis, virulence factors, clinical manifestations, and antifungal therapy. Consistently,
