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

An increasing number of outbreaks due to resistant non-albicans Candida species have been reported worldwide. Between 2014 and 2016, Candida isolates causing invasive candidiasis were recovered in a Mexican hospital. Isolates were identified to species level and antifungal susceptibility was determined. In the time period studied, 74 invasive candidiasis cases were identified, with 38% (28/74) caused by Candida parapsilosis, out of which 54% (15/28) were fluconazole resistant. The ERG11 gene was sequenced for 12 recoverable fluconazole-resistant C. parapsilosis isolates and SNPs identified. The 12 isolates had one common silent point mutation in ERG11 (T591C) and seven isolates had an additional (A395T) mutation, which corresponded to Y132F. Four of the isolates carrying this mutation were closely related within the same cluster by microsatellite typing. This is the first report of an invasive candidiasis outbreak in Mexico due to azole-resistant C. parapsilosis associated with the Y132F substitution.
