Emerging Trichosporon asahii in elderly patients: epidemiological and molecular analysis by the DiversiLab system.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Trichosporon asahii has been recognized as an emerging opportunistic agent for invasive infections, mainly in immunocompromised patients. Urinary tract infections by this pathogen may also occur, especially in patients with urinary obstruction or those undergoing vesical catheterization and antibiotic treatment. Many outbreaks of Trichosporon spp. have been detected after urinary catheter manipulations. We report the molecular-epidemiological characterization of T. asahii in our institution using the DiversiLab system for the molecular strain typing and compare three different methods for susceptibility testing. Our results present T. asahii as an emergent pathogen in elderly patients with urinary drainage devices that can be adequately treated with triazoles, with voriconazole being the most active. Broth dilution and Vitek 2 had good concordance, while Etest showed more discrepancies. In addition, the DiversiLab system for clonal strain typing may be a useful tool for fast and accurate management of nosocomial outbreaks.
