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

introductionThe presence of Candida species in urine (candiduria) is a common clinical finding, which may frequently represent colonization or contamination of specimens, however, they may be etiological agents in urinary tract infections (UTIs) or be indicators of underlying pathology in the genitourinary system or disseminated candidaemia. C. albicans is the most frequently isolated species of the genus, however, an increase in the occurrence of non-albicans Candida species (NACS) has been reported, which may be attributable to frequent exposure to fluconazole. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe aim of this study was to retrospectively assess and compare the prevalence of candiduria and UTIs caused by Candida spp. among inpatients and outpatients at a major clinical center in Hungary, during a 10-year period (2008-2017).

resultsCandiduria was detected in 0.11-0.75% of positive samples from outpatients, while this number was significantly higher for inpatients, ranging between 3.49-10.63% (p <0.001). Overall, C. albicans was the most frequently isolated species (65.22% in outpatients and 59.64% in inpatients), however, the presence of C. glabrata as a relevant etiologic agent (~20-30%) is also noteworthy, because there are corresponding therapeutic consequences.

conclusionsA pronounced female dominance (1.7-2.15-fold), advanced age (~70 years) and hospitalization of affected patients during candiduria is in line with the findings in literature.
