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

In this study, the susceptibility to amphotericin B of Candida spp. isolates obtained from patients with candidemia was related to their respective clinical outcomes. The susceptibility tests were carried out in three culture media: RPMI 1640, Antibiotic medium 3 and Yeast Nitrogen Base dextrose. We have found that minimal inhibitory concentrations and minimal fungicidal concentrations obtained using AM3 and YNBd media were significantly higher for Candida spp. from patients who died than for those from patients who survived the candidemia (P < 0.05). The assays with RPMI 1640 medium did not show these differences.
