Fungal peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis: 5-year review from a North China center.

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
purposeFungal peritonitis (FP) is a rare but devastating complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD), accounting for high rates of technique failure, morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to investigate FPs with regard to peritonitis rate, microbiology testing, patient characteristics, clinical features, antifungal treatments, and clinical outcomes in patients on PD.
methodsThis single-center study retrospectively reviewed all FP episodes diagnosed from June 1, 2012 to June, 2017. All FPs were matched in a 1:5 ratio with PD patients diagnosed with bacterial peritonitis. Clinical, biochemical characteristics and detailed data on peritonitis episodes were recorded.
resultsEleven fungal peritonitis episodes (rate of 0.0067 episodes per patient-year on dialysis) were identified. All FPs were caused by Candida species (identification and antifungal susceptibility testing were performed with VITEK 2
conclusionsFP results in high rates of catheter loss and all-cause mortality in 3 months of follow-up, candida species were the commonest pathogens in our center. Variations of clinical features and susceptibility patterns were observed. Gastrointestinal disorders maybe a potential risk factor for FP.
