[Effect of bladder irrigation with amphotericin B for treatment of urinary tract fungal infection: a meta-analysis].

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
objectiveTo assess the efficacy and safety of bladder irrigation with amphotericin B for treatment of fungal infection in the urinary tract.
methodsAll the available randomized controlled trials (published before March, 2018) examining bladder irrigation with amphotericin B for treatment of urinary tract fungal infection were searched in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Issue 12, 2017), PubMed, EMBase, Web of Knowledge Database, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang DATA and VIP information. Data were extracted from the selected trials for meta-analysis using RevMan 5.3 software.
resultsA total of 96 studies were retrieved from the databases, and 9 trials involving 853 patients were included in the analysis. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with oral administration of fluconazole, bladder irrigation with amphotericin B was more effective in the treatment of fungal infection in the urinary tract (OR=1.66, 95%CI: 1.2-2.3, P=0.002) and was associated with less adverse reactions.
conclusionBladder irrigation with amphotericin B can improve the curative effect of fungal infection in the urinary tract, but due to the small sample size of the included studies, this conclusion needs to be further validated by high-quality studies.
