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

Because Candida species have innately highly variable antifungal susceptibilities, the availability of a fast and reliable species identification test is very important so that suitable and effective therapeutic measures may be taken. Using three oligonucleotide primers, we established a randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis method that enabled direct identification of the most common opportunistic pathogenic Candida species. RAPD analysis revealed a characteristic molecular fingerprint for each Candida species. Differences between the profiles for Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis were evident. RAPD analysis is a relatively easy, reproducible, and reliable technique that can be useful in providing genetic fingerprints for the identification of strains. In addition, a collection of different C. albicans strains was identified by a specific PCR based on multiple secreted aspartic proteinase (SAP) genes and the dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (DAP2) gene. Our findings demonstrate that PCR based upon the SAP and DAP2 sequences is a simple, rapid, clear, and direct technique for the identification and differentiation of C. albicans and C. dubliniensis.
