Fungal infection in patients with serpiginous choroiditis or acute zonal occult outer retinopathy.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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 etiologies of a number of retinopathies, including serpiginous choroiditis and acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR), remain uncertain. Recently, we provided evidence that AZOOR is caused by Candida famata infection. The purpose of this article was to investigate the presence of fungal infection in five patients affected with serpiginous choroiditis and five patients with diagnosis of AZOOR. To assess the presence of fungal infection the presence of antibodies in human serum samples against C. famata, C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. glabrata and C. krusei was analyzed. In addition, quantitative PCR was carried out to detect fungal genomes in whole blood. Finally, the presence of fungal antigens in the serum samples of patients was investigated. Three AZOOR patients presented high antibody titers against Candida spp., while antibodies against Candida spp. were observed in serum samples from four patients with serpiginous choroiditis. Fungal genomes in peripheral blood were evidenced in serum samples from one AZOOR and four serpiginous choroiditis patients. Fungal antigens were also apparent in the serum of different patients. Our findings indicate that there was evidence of disseminated fungal infection in most patients examined.
