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

More detailed information on Candida colonisation and infection of the mucous membranes in organ transplant recipients (OTR) is of particular interest. Therefore, this issue was prospectively evaluated in 400 different OTR in different posttransplantation periods as well as in 405 healthy age- and sex-matched controls. In addition, possible risk factors and the clinical condition in the OTR were evaluated. Independent of the transplanted organ there is a statistically significant decrease in the number of positive culture results, of symptomatic candidiasis and an increase of isolated non-albicans Candida species corresponding to length of the posttransplantation period. No significant differences could be observed in the OTR in association with different immunosuppressive regimen; however, higher dosages of corticosteroids and tacrolimus correlated with symptomatic candidiasis. As Candida spp. may also cause systemic infection and dissemination, additional knowledge about cofactors and associated strains may have an impact on therapeutic decisions.
