Detection of Candida albicans by culture, serology and PCR in clinical specimens from patients with ulcerative colitis: re-evaluation of an old hypothesis with a new perspective.
Article in Folia microbiologica, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and microorganisms was evaluated. The presence of Candida albicans-specific IgM and IgG antibodies in serum samples and the presence of C. albicans in stool and colonal mucosa samples of the patients did not exhibit any significant difference between 21 patients in active stage and 15 patients in remission of ulcerative colitis (UC) (compared with 19 control patients). The invasion of yeast cells to the colonal mucosa was demonstrated by detecting C. albicans DNA using specific PCon1, PCon2, and PspA2 primers in PCR assay. Eighteen of 36 patients (50%) were found to be DNA positive while in 19 controls only 4 (21%) were found to be positive. The presence of DNA in the association of the positive serological reactivity is suggested as an important diagnostic marker of UC.
