Susceptibility testing of fluconazole by the NCCLS broth macrodilution method, E-test, and disk diffusion for application in the routine laboratory.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Antifungal susceptibility testing may be an important aid in the treatment of patients with life-threatening yeast infections. In order to establish the suitability of different susceptibility test methods for fluconazole with yeasts, the Rosco tablet and the E-test were compared with the gold standard NCCLS broth macrodilution method for 106 yeast strains. These included 102 clinical isolates of Candida spp., including Candida glabrata (n = 30), Candida albicans (n = 20), Candida tropicalis (n = 13), Candida parapsilosis (n = 10), Candida krusei (n = 8), plus Cryptococcus neoformans (n = 3), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (n = 2), and 16 strains belonging to other Candida spp. Four American Type Culture Collection strains of Candida were included as quality controls. The NCCLS method was found to be too complex and labor-intensive for routine testing. The E-test is an accurate alternative, but experience in determining MICs and careful attention to procedural details are critically important. The Rosco tablet showed the best agreement with the NCCLS reference method, especially when newly established breakpoints of R < or = 10 mm and S > or = 21 mm were used.
