Candidemia in children after complex congenital heart defects surgery treated with caspofungin--our own experience and a review of literature.
Review in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
backgroundInvasive fungal infections due to Candida species constitute an increasing clinical problem. There are no guidelines for the management of candidemia in children undergoing surgical procedures for congenital heart defects (CHD). The aim of the study was to draw attention to the problem of candidemia in children who are operated on due to congenital heart defects. MATERIAL/
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed medical documentation of 307 children with congenital heart defects treated in 1 clinical centre in Poland, from whom we selected those diagnosed with candidemia during the postoperative period. Next, we analyzed in detail the clinical course of invasive candidiasis in each individual and we performed an analysis of risk factors that lead to candidemia.
resultsIn the analyzed period, among 307 children who underwent surgical procedures, we observed 2 cases of candidemia (0.65%) which were effectively cured with caspofungin. No adverse effects were observed after treatment with the drug.
conclusionsCandidemia in children who undergo surgical treatment of congenital heart defects is an important factor that can influence final clinical results. Caspofungin may be an effective therapeutic option when treating candidemia in children after extensive cardiosurgical procedures.
