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

Invasive yeast infections cause significant morbidity and mortality. Surveillance for the infection is necessary to detect trends in species distribution and antifungal resistance. We performed this retrospective study of yeast infection at Jinling Hospital, Nanjing in China, from year of 2010 to 2012. A total of 341 yeast isolates were obtained from patients with invasive infections in the period. Among these isolates, Candida spp. comprised of the highest percentage of yeast strains (91.8 %), followed by Cryptococcus neoformans (5.9 %) and other non-Candida yeast strains (2.3 %). Bloodstream isolates made up 41.3 % of yeast strains and the isolates from CVC made up 17.3 %. Among Candida spp., C. albicans was the most common species identified from non-blood clinical specimens (42.9 %), but appeared in only 20.8 % of blood isolates (P < 0.001). C. tropicalis was the most prevalent Candida species in the blood samples (28.5 %). Candida spp. was mainly isolated from specimens of the ICU patients, while C. neoformans was mainly isolated from specimens in medical wards. Resistance to FLC occurred in 3.7 % of C. albicans, 9.9 % of C. tropicalis, 74.0 % of C. glabrata, and 4.4 % of C. parapsilosis. Most (>92 %) isolates of C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, and C. neoformans strains were susceptible to VRC; However, 26.7 % of isolates of C. glabrata were VRC resistant.
