Candida lusitaniae MICs to the echinocandins are elevated but FKS-mediated resistance is rare.
Article in Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
MIC values were generated for caspofungin, micafungin, and anidulafungin against 106 isolates of C. lusitaniae, and these values were compared to established epidemiologic cutoff values. The majority of isolates were wild type both by MIC value as well as by FKS1 hotspot sequencing. Although C. lusitaniae isolates have MIC values to the echinocandins that are elevated compared to other common species, with regard to known mechanisms of resistance to the echinocandins, isolates with MIC values at or below the epidemiological cutoff values of 0.5 and 1 μg/mL for micafungin and anidulafungin, respectively, should be considered wild type.
