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

Several virulence factors in Candida albicans strains such as production of hydrolytic enzymes and biofilm formation on surfaces and cells can contribute to their pathogenicity. For this, control of this opportunistic yeast is one of the factors reducing the nosocomial infection. The aim of this study was to investigate biofilm formation on polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate and the production of hydrolytic enzymes in Candida albicans strains isolated from the oral cavity of patients suffering from denture stomatitis. All strains were identified by macroscopic, microscopic analysis and the ID 32 C system. Our results showed that 50% of the total strains produced phospholipase. Furthermore, protease activity was detected in seven (35%) strains. All Candida albicans strains were beta haemolytic. All C. albicans strains adhered to polystyrene 96-well microtiter plate at different degrees, and the metabolic activity of C. albicans biofilm formed on polymethylmethacrylate did not differ between tested strains. The atomic force micrographs demonstrated that biofilm of Candida albicans strains was organized in small colonies with budding cells.
