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

We used the Sensititre YeastOne (SYO) method (Trek Diagnostic Systems) to determine the MICs of nine antifungal agents against 474 nonduplicate blood Candida isolates. The MIC results were interpreted according to updated clinical breakpoints (CBPs) recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI; document M27-S4) or epidemiology cutoff values (ECVs). The rates of fluconazole susceptibility were 99.2% (234/236) in Candida albicans, 86.7% (85/98) in C. tropicalis, and 97.7% (42/43) in C. parapsilosis. Among the 77 isolates of C. glabrata, 90.9% showed dose-dependent susceptibility (S-DD) to fluconazole. Nearly all isolates of C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, and C. krusei were susceptible to voriconazole; however, rates of voriconazole susceptibility were 78.6% in C. tropicalis. Few isolates of C. albicans (n = 5; 2.1%) and C. glabrata (n = 3; 3.9%), no isolates of C. parapsilosis, C. krusei, and C. guilliermondii, but 62.2% (n = 51) of C. tropicalis isolates were non-wild type for posaconazole susceptibility. For itraconazole susceptibility, 98.3% of C. albicans isolates were wild type, and 3.9% (n = 3) of C. glabrata isolates were non-wild type. Almost all of the isolates tested (>97% for all species) were susceptible to both micafungin and anidulafungin. All isolates tested were found to be wild type for amphotericin B susceptibility, with MICs of <1 μg/ml. Further evaluation is needed to establish CBPs of antifungal agents by the 24-h SYO method for the management of patients with candidemia or other invasive candida infections.
