Overtreatment of Asymptomatic Candiduria among Hospitalized Patients: a Multi-institutional Study.
Article in Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Candiduria is common in hospitalized patients, and asymptomatic candiduria contributes to antifungal overuse. The guidelines for management of asymptomatic candiduria do not recommend antifungal use, but rather the elimination of predisposing factors. It is unknown whether these recommendations are being followed. The primary objective of this study was to characterize candiduria management among hospitalized patients. This was a retrospective cohort study of a random sample of 305 hospitalized patients with candiduria at four U.S. medical centers from January 2010 to December 2013. Patients were classified as asymptomatic or symptomatic based on established criteria, and data were collected by chart review. Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) treatment guideline adherence and its association with clinical outcomes, including candiduria recurrence (short- and long-term) and 30-day readmission, were assessed. Eighty percent of patients were classified as having asymptomatic candiduria. Overall, 143 (47%) patients were not managed according to recommended guidelines, including 105/243 (43%) in the asymptomatic candiduria group and 38/62 (61%) in the symptomatic group (
