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

aimPresenting the first clinical case of Wickerhamomyces myanmarensis. PATIENTS &

methodsYeast cells were isolated from blood and central venous catheter of a 5.5-year-old male subject. API 20C AUX, MALDI-TOF MS, ITS and LSU rDNA sequencing, and our qPCR assay were used for identification and the MIC values were determined by CLSI M27-A3.

resultsITS and LSU rDNA sequencing identified both isolates as W. myanmarensis, while API 20C AUX and MALDI-TOF MS did not identify them correctly. Our qPCR specifically distinguished W. myanmarensis from W. anomalus. Isolate obtained from blood showed a higher MIC value for fluconazole, voriconazole and posaconazole.

conclusionUtilization of reliable identification tools might reveal the genuine spectrum of opportunistic yeast species.
