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

A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at a medical center in central Taiwan to understand the prevalence, associated factors, and microbiologic features for oropharyngeal yeast colonization in human immunodeficiency virus-infected outpatients. Oral yeast colonization was detected in 127 (45 %) patients, including 21 (16.5 %) colonized by more than one species. Of the 154 isolates, Candida albicans was the most common species (114, 74 %), followed by Candida dubliniensis (10, 6.5 %), Candida glabrata (10, 6.5 %), Candida tropicalis (7, 4.5 %), and 13 others. We found that receiving antituberculous drug (p = 0.046) or atazanavir (p = 0.045) was two predictors for patients colonized by non-C. albicans species (p = 0.005) and risking mixed yeast colonization (p = 0.009). Even though our data showed that clinical antifungal drugs remained effective in vitro against the colonizing yeasts, the increased mixed yeast colonization indicates a potential issue for controlling mixed infections in hospital settings.
