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

The secretory aspartic proteinases of Candida albicans and C. tropicalis are potential factors for virulence produced during infection. By indirect immunofluorescence, we have demonstrated proteinase antigen on elements of both species in deparaffinized tissue sections derived from clinical cases of mucosal and deep-seated candidiasis. Occasionally, we observed a halo of fluorescence in the close vicinity of candidal cells, which may reflect secretion of the enzyme. In kidneys, a ring of amorphous fluorescent material surrounding candidal colonies may illustrate alkaline denaturation of secreted enzyme within a pH gradient, which is generated by the fungus. Our findings support the view that candidal proteinase may be a diagnostically relevant antigen.
