Identification of Mucorales by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry.
Article in Journal of fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
More than 20 different species of Mucorales can be responsible for human mucormycosis. Accurate identification to the species level is important. The morphological identification of Mucorales is not reliable, and the currently recommended identification standard is the molecular technique of sequencing the internal transcribed spacer regions. Nevertheless, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry has been shown to be an accurate alternative for the identification of bacteria, yeasts, and even filamentous fungi. Therefore, 38 Mucorales isolates, belonging to 12 different species or varieties, mainly from international collections, including 10 type or neo-type strains previously identified by molecular methods, were used to evaluate the usefulness of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry for the identification of human pathogenic Mucorales to the species level. One to three reference strains for each species were used to create a database of main spectrum profiles, and the remaining isolates were used as test isolates. A minimum of 10 spectra was used to build the main spectrum profile of each database strain. Interspecies discrimination for all the isolates, including species belonging to the same genus, was possible. Twenty isolates belonging to five species were used to test the database accuracy, and were correctly identified to the species level with a log-score >2. In summary, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry is a reliable and rapid method for the identification of most of the human pathogenic Mucorales to the species level.
