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

This case report describes the outbreak of candidemia caused by non-albicans Candida (NAC) species, which within a short period of 11 days, affected six neonates housed in the same room of neonatal intensive care unit of a rural tertiary care center in Uttarakhand state, India. The NAC species isolated showed complete resistance to azole compounds tested. All the neonates were having central venous catheters at the time of diagnosis, received total parenteral nutrition and were on broad spectrum antibiotics. Though two neonates survived the infection, but four of them had an unfortunate outcome and they died despite of aggressive therapy with amphotericin B. It was concluded that candidemia was associated with previously described risk factors and that poor infection control practices were likely responsible for outbreak.
