Candida bloodstream infections in hemodialysis recipients.
Article in Medical mycology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Candidemia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis but it has not been well defined in this patient population. We performed a retrospective case-control study to characterize the epidemiology, microbiology, and outcomes of hemodialysis-associated candidemia. All cases of candidemia at our institution were evaluated from 1 January 2000 until 1 September 2004. For each case, two non-candidemic dialysis patients served as controls. Among 350 cases of candidemia, 78 (22%) occurred in adult hemodialysis patients. Cases and controls were similar with respect to age, corticosteroid, antibiotics use, prevalence of diabetes mellitus, liver cirrhosis, surgical procedures, and cancer. Multivariate analysis found total parenteral nutrition (TPN) (19.5% vs. 1.3%; P<0.0001) and dialysis through a vascular catheter (74% vs. 46.8%; P=0.0001) to be independently associated with candidemia. Non-C.albicans Candida spp. particularly C. glabrata and C. krusei were more common in hemodialysis recipients than in candidemic patients not receiving hemodialysis (31% vs. 17% p = 0.009). In-hospital mortality was significantly elevated for candidemic vs. non-candidemic hemodialysis recipients (51.9% vs. 7.8%; P<0.0001). Candidemia in hemodialysis recipients is frequently caused by non-C. albicansCandida species, is associated with TPN and dialysis via a vascular catheter (vs. shunt or fistula) and carries a high mortality rate.
