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

Candida infections in paediatric patients are an important issue. They are associated with significant mortality, particularly in newborns and those with congenital immunodeficiencies. At present, there is limited knowledge regarding factors associated with an increased risk of developing invasive candidiasis in newborns and those with congenital immunodeficiencies, although there have been a number of studies conducted to characterize these risk factors. These studies have suggested that, in neonates, the most important of these factors is colonization, whereas in paediatric patients with congenital immunodeficiencies, risk factors may differ according to the specific deficiency present. Regarding treatment of invasive candidiasis in paediatric patients, fluconazole is considered an appropriate choice, although the method for determining treatment strategies for each patient should be the same as that used for such decisions in adult patients.
