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 glabrata has emerged as the second most common etiologic agent, after Candida albicans, of superficial and invasive candidiasis in adults. Strain typing is essential for epidemiological investigation, but easy-to-use and reliable typing methods are still lacking. We report the use of a multilocus microsatellite typing method with a set of eight markers on a panel of 180 strains, including 136 blood isolates from hospitalized patients and 34 digestive tract isolates from nonhospitalized patients. A total of 44 different alleles were observed, generating 87 distinct genotypes. In addition to perfect reproducibility, typing ability, and stability, the method had a discriminatory power calculated at 0.97 when all 8 markers were associated, making it suitable for tracing strains. In addition, it is shown that digestive tract isolates differed from blood culture isolates by exhibiting a higher genotypic diversity associated with different allelic frequencies and preferentially did not group in clonal complexes (CCs). The demonstration of the occurrence of microevolution in digestive strains supports the idea that C. glabrata can be a persistent commensal of the human gut.
