Candida albicans Mastitis in Breastfeeding Woman: An Under Recognized Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Breastfeeding has been demonstrated to have many benefits for both mother and child. The diagnosis and management of Candida in the breastfeeding dyad are difficult because diagnosis is most often based on subjective signs and symptoms. Few studies have attempted to confirm the diagnosis with biological tests. A 26-year-old breastfeeding mother presented with stabbing breast pain, accompanied by erythematous, hyperkeratotic areola, and nipples. Histopathological results and direct mycological examination, followed by culture and auxanogram, revealed Candida albicans as an etiological agent of mastitis; the case was managed successfully by antifungal medication. Candida mastitis in lactating women is an under-recognized and under-treated cause of breast pain, hyperkeratosis over areola, and discharge of nipple should be assessed by biological tests. The hope is that with an increased awareness of this infection, more mothers will be appropriately treated and will thus be more likely to continue breastfeeding.
