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

Sepsis can occur during disseminated candidiasis, but its pathogenesis differs from that caused by typical prokaryotic pathogens. Complex interactions between defects in host defense and "relative" virulence factors expressed by Candida lead to dissemination of the saprophyte to parenchymal organs, and subsequently to onset of multiorgan failure. This review focuses first on the pathophysiology of Candida sepsis, detailing current understanding of host-pathogen interactions. We then consider the choice of antifungal and supportive treatments.
