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

A bloodstream infection due to Candida haemulonii afflicting a patient with fever and a medical history of megaloblastic anemia is reported. The clinical isolate was misidentified by the API 20C and VITEK identification systems. The results of susceptibility tests showed that the MIC of amphotericin B for C. haemulonii was 4 microg/ml. Additional susceptibility testing procedures based on the use of antibiotic medium 3 and Iso-Sensitest broth were performed, and killing curves were determined. Two collection strains of C. haemulonii were employed as controls. The three isolates exhibited resistance to amphotericin B in vitro regardless of the antifungal susceptibility testing method employed. In addition, the MICs of fluconazole for the three isolates were high. Further studies are needed in order to ascertain whether this species exhibits innate or acquired resistance to amphotericin B and other antifungal agents.
