Impact of the changing epidemiology of fungal infections in the 1990s.
Review in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The increase in fungal infections over the past decade is striking. This is particularly true for hospitalized patients where the rate of candidal bloodstream infection has increased by as much as 487% over the decade of the 1980s. This increase in fungal infections is accompanied by a significant excess mortality and excess length of stay in hospital. The emergence of "new" fungal pathogens such as Candida krusei, Torulopsis glabrata, Fusarium and Trichosporon beigelii is now recognized as a significant problem in many patient populations. The documentation of nosocomial transmission of fungal pathogens and the recognition of resistance to both new and established anti-fungal agents poses a significant problem entering the 1990s. Continued effort is needed to develop new and better therapeutic agents and more effective strategies for prophylaxis of endogenous infections and prevention of transmission within the hospital setting.
