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

Prospective population surveillance has been conducted for candidemia in Brazil (A. L. Colombo, M. Nucci, B. J. Park, et al., J. Clin. Microbiol. 44:2816-2823, 2006). In the present study, a total of 63 isolates from 61 patients, representing 11 medical centers from nine geographic regions, were characterized by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). A total of 48 unique profiles or diploid sequence types (DSTs) were observed, with nine new sequence types (STs) and 32 new DSTs. There were no apparent correlations between center/region and DST patterns. Subtypes were compared to those in a known characterized reference set, including a large database of strains obtained worldwide. Significantly, only one C. albicans group 2 isolate was found in our collection, although isolates from this particular group are commonly found worldwide. These data, combined with information from other previously reported studies, establish a statistically significant diminishment of group 2 strains in Central and South America, including Mexico and portions of the Southwestern United States.
