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

A total of 4,226 Spanish clinical isolates of Candida spp. were analyzed to assess resistance to voriconazole according to breakpoints established by the European Committee for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (where susceptibility [S] to voriconazole corresponds to a MIC of ≤ 0.12 mg/liter). Resistance was uncommon among Candida albicans (5%), C. parapsilosis (1.2%), and C. tropicalis (11%) isolates. Voriconazole MICs of >0.12 mg/liter were more frequent among Candida glabrata and C. krusei isolates. A significant percentage of voriconazole-resistant strains came from oropharyngeal infections and exhibited high MICs of other azoles.
