Review in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The term "invasive candidiasis" encompasses a group of infections of increasing relevance in the intensive care setting. Prophylaxis is an attractive strategy when dealing with diseases of high prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. The success of prophylaxis is determined by the selection of a population at high risk and the use of the safest and most effective drug. Although risk factors for this disease are known, risk assessment strategies need to be developed to predict a high likelihood of disease so that targeted prophylaxis can be offered. Recent advances in antifungal therapy, such as development of the azoles and echinocandins, have resulted in excellent prophylactic and therapeutic choices for the management of this problem.
