Isolation of Candida famata from a patient with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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 etiology of a number of retinopathies, such as acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR), remains undetermined. Candida famata was isolated from conjunctival exudates of a patient diagnosed with AZOOR. This yeast was very abundant, particularly in the more affected eye, while no other pathogens or fungal species were in evidence. Immunological tests revealed the presence of antigen-specific T lymphocytes by using C. famata as a challenge. Moreover, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis showed the presence of specific antibodies against this yeast in the patient's blood. Delayed hypersensitivity by use of a skin test was also positive. Finally, antifungal treatments led to improvements in several clinical symptoms, including funduscopic analysis. However, despite prolonged treatment with fluconazole and itraconazole, C. famata still appeared in the conjunctival exudates. The new antifungal voriconazole may represent a better choice for treatment.
