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

Candiduria is common in clinical practice. However, an effective and convenient assay to screen for candiduria is still needed. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the Sysmex UF-1000i urine analyzer for yeast-like cell counting (YLCC) to screen for candiduria prior to urine culture. We retrospectively analyzed data from 5233 urine samples from 1813 patients, including 837 males and 976 females. Urine culture and urinalysis-obtained YLCC data were used to estimate the performance of YLCC in diagnosing candiduria. Different cutoff values were used to calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV). The YLCC-positive rates differed according to the Candida colony-forming units (CFU) counts in the urine samples. A sharp drop in YLCC-positive rate (from 64.3 to 22.0%) was observed between the urine groups with 10
