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

Invasive candidiasis has emerged as an important cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care unit patients. This short review focuses on many aspects of Candida infection in critically ill patients including epidemiology, impact on mortality, problems related to diagnosis, strategies to identify patients at risk of developing fungal infections, role of prophylaxis and pre-emptive strategies, empiric treatment and the role of different classes of antifungal drugs. New antifungal agents, specifically new azoles and echinocandins are discussed.
