Candiduria: prevalence and trends in antifungal susceptibility in a tertiary care hospital of mangalore.
Article in Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe incidence of Candida has been on rise worldwide. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) as a result of Candida species are becoming, common in hospitalised patients. Clinicians face dilemma in differentiating colonization from true candiduria. The species identification of Candida is important, as non albicans Candida species are increasing in number and more resistant to antifungal drugs. The aim of the study was to find out the frequency of Candida among uropathogens, their speciation and to determine the susceptibilities to antifungal drugs of Candida species isolated from candiduria. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 2900 urine samples were analysed in a tertiary care hospital. Candida species isolated from urine samples were subjected to speciation using CHROM agar and standard yeast identification protocol. Antifungal susceptibility testing for fluconazole, voriconazole, flucytosine, amphotericin B was carried out using VITEK-2 compact system of Biomerieux.
resultA total of 66(2.27%) Candida species were isolated from 2900 urine samples. Among them non albicans Candida species were predominant (69.7%) compared to Candida albicans (30.3%). The Candida isolated were more susceptible to amphotericin B (91%) and flucytosine (82%) compared to voriconazole (72.72%) and fluconazole (66.66%).
conclusionThe present study reiterates the prevalence of Candida species among UTIs and their antifungal susceptibility pattern. Prevalence of non albicans Candida was more than Candida albicans. Non albicans Candida species are more resistant to antifungal drugs compared to C.albicans. Therefore, the species identification of Candida isolates along with their antifungal susceptibility pattern can help the clinicians in better treating the patients with candiduria.
